Biography and Artist Statement

Diane Moran is a visual artist, and children’s programmer born and raised in Vancouver, B.C. now residing in Langley, B.C. 

CREATIVE CONNECTIONS:
As a visual artist and children's programmer, I have seen and experienced the power and process that connects us through art. For myself, art has been and will always be my sounding board and grounding guide. It not only keeps me balanced but allows me to create opportunities to heal, help, and inspire others to think out of the box. It affords those who are silenced to have a voice, and those blinded by ignorance and intolerance to see things they never have imagined. 

STATEMENT: Captivated by culture, and prodded by process her art in-part is what keeps her grounded.  The process of combining materials, coupled with layering and experimentation is highly utilised.  Diane also enjoys educating young people about global issues and international awareness through art. Over the past 10 years, Diane has exhibited her work at a variety of locations and events. She has been intimately involved in international initiatives such as the Home Sweet Home Banner Project, in New Orleans Louisiana, BC to Bernard Book Project and Hands of Help Canada Cares campaign for Katrina relief along with the Hands  Across Havana, a Cuban art exchange. She has been an Artist in Residence throughout the Lower mainland as well as an Artist Resource for the Burnaby School District.  Diane’s latest artistic passions include photography, painting, and facilitating art workshops coupled with her humanitarian projects.
