Artist's Statement
By: Diana Riukas
My education includes BA In Art from West Chester University, M.Ed. Art Education from Tyler School of Art, and M.F.A. In Studio Art from Maryland Institute College of Art. My work as a multi-media artist includes acrylic, oil, encaustic , fabric, digital, and photography using collage methods on canvas and/ or wood. The use of mixed media gives me great freedom of expression in a variety of themes, in both abstract and realistic styles. Themes that interest me most are spirituality, female self-image , and socio-educational issues. My unconventional spiritual beliefs, experiences of self-mage issues, and 21 years of work with children in the inner city impact my art work. These three main areas are explored separately and sometimes in relation to each other.
