Diane Schroeder majored in art with focus in interior design at the University of Nebraska. Diane chose a career in the design field, but she never abandoned her love for her art. Whether it was three dimensional art interpreted from clients needs and desires or 2 dimensional painting exploring abstractions interpreted from life adventures, both seem to influence each other.
Diane has moved from a formal application of oil on canvas to a spontaneous palate of oil and mixed media. Her pieces abstractly suggest landscape shapes and textures and the translucencies and reflections of atmospheric colors. With the exploration of contrast and contradiction, Diane introduced collage as an exciting additional dimension to her work and she continues to define and refine detail and strength.
Diane enjoyed a successful design career for national and international interior architectural firms, she was represented by a Chicago gallery for some time and continued to build her painting
