Diana Baumbach |
Diana grew up outside of Chicago with her muralist mother, businessman father, and sister Sarah. For many years, she studied ballet. Diana performed with Ballet Chicago as well as the Bolshoi Ballet at the Vail International Dance Festival. After deciding to focus her attention on the visual arts, Diana received her BFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Washington University in St. Louis and her MFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Southern Illinois University Carbondale. Most of Diana's current creative research focuses on the intersection between art and design. She uses paper to create quasi-functional objects and pattern-based works. Diana also maintains an interest in curation and alternative exhibition spaces. While living in Southern Illinois, she directed a gallery within her home. Diana has had recent solo exhibitions at Eastern Wyoming College and Snowflake/City Stock in St. Louis, MO. Diana has been teaching since 2003. She spent a year teaching at Brehm Preparatory School, a prep school for students with learning disabilities, and three years teaching at Southern Illinois University as a graduate student. Since coming to the University of Wyoming in 2007, she has taught 2D Foundations, Foundations Color, and Introduction to Digital Media. She was also selected as a Faculty Fellow to teach a course for the University of Wyoming's Summer High School Institute.
