Hello! My name is Diana. I am honored to introduce myself. I was one of those who knew my future occupation from the age of 7. As a fine artist, I experimented with a variety of traditional techniques, favoring painting, pencil work, and chalk drawings throughout high school.<\/p>\n
A chance job at a local printing company at age 18 introduced me to the field of graphic art through the Art Department I worked with in customer service.<\/p>\n
Now that my fate was sealed, I found myself in New York a few years later, pursuing a degree in graphic art at the Fashion Institute of Technology. I developed a love for Robert Motherwell and Japanese Prints\/Eastern design.<\/p>\n
A course in editorial\/publication design solidified my specialty\u2014one I was extremely passionate about\u2014in print design for editorial and publication. After graduation, fortune provided me with wonderful experiences in the industry and solidified a foundation of a minimal design aesthetic.<\/p>\n
Those fast-paced days are gone, and styles always evolve. However, what has emerged is what you see in my shop today. I have grown immensely as both a person and an artist, and for that, I am very grateful.<\/p>\n
KINTSUGI<\/p>\n
Modern
\nI employ a Modern Kintsugi Process to achieve a more dynamic and versatile look, as well as being able to price pieces lower for accessibility than I would if I used the traditional process. I use two different techniques, depending on the piece. Generally, with smaller or more modern pieces, I use a more ‘flat’ controlled technique for a precise look which looks like gold plating. With larger pieces, I tend to use a more traditional painterly ‘drip’ process.<\/p>\n
Traditional
\nI do honor the Japanese tradition of Kintsugi by knowing and completing pieces in the traditional process with urushi bonding material. I typically do not use this process in my shop, as it is more time consuming, the look is different and the cost is higher.<\/p>\n
I am honored when a Kintsugi piece is chosen as a gift. Not only does it impart beauty, but the meaning makes it even more special. Kintsugi allows me to provide beautiful and meaningful pieces of art that evoke feelings. I believe feelings carry great power\u2014what you feel, you attract.<\/p>\n
I also have the opportunity to evolve as an artist, and for that, I will always be grateful. From Kintsugi, I have developed a deep appreciation for the different styles, shapes, sizes, and techniques of pottery I curate for my pieces. This inspired the name of my business, Facette Gallery.<\/p>\n
I enjoy the curation aspect very much, as my ultimate goals are opening my own brick-and-mortar gallery and my own line of Kintsugi and other home decor pieces.<\/p>\n
Please check back often; the collection really is always evolving, as all pieces are one-of-a-kind. I also have connections with different pottery studios in L.A., so please look out for work by unknown artists (credits will be included in the listings) and shops on Etsy.<\/p>\n
In peace,
\nDiana
