Diane Black

Diane was an accomplished and prolific painter.  She was inspired by a wide range of subjects and interpreted them through her own unmistakable style. Diane embarked on a weaving career inspired by husband Earl and they collaborated on sculptures combining  wood and fiber. Her rocking horse and life size figures were folkloric and whimsical.  Diane took on a leadership role in the pottery Studio as an assistant. She was a creator of hand-built pieces depicting people and animal scenes. Her poetry is in all three of the published Spindleworks poetry collections (1991,1996 and 2011). Diane was generous with her talents, finding great joy in teaching art at Spindleworks and in the greater community. Diane and Earl lived in their own home built by Habitat for Humanity in Brunswick.
