About the Artist

Diane Komater is a nationally acclaimed wire artist. Working in darkened steel, her detailed and nuanced sculptures capture the movement and expression of the human form.

As a child, being brought up Catholic, I remember the long Latin masses my family attended every Sunday. The stained glass windows of the churches were what intrigued me the most about these ceremonies. I loved the way the light lit up the primary colors of the glass and the black line that defined the images. I believe this was the first influence on the work I create today. I started drawing these "holy" images using pencil and ink. I liked their expressions and the flowing lines of their garments.
