Diane Romero Mattern

As a fiber artist, I draw on the long-standing traditions of quilting while actively expanding my work into new forms. My process is intuitive and experimental; I work with fabric, beadwork, and improvisational composition to create wall pieces that honor the craft’s heritage while challenging its conventions. By blending traditional techniques with contemporary approaches, I aim to create work that respects the past yet reflects a spirit of growth, curiosity, and self-discovery.
