About the Artist: Diane Kremer
I began my professional career as a computer engineer and worked in high-tech for 20 years. It was rewarding and I enjoyed it. Changing careers never entered my mind until I was laid off during the great recession of 2009. A world of possibilities opened up. Could I travel a completely different road? Could I turn my jewelry making hobby into a business? Could I make jewelry that was art? I believe I was a "maker" long before the term was coined but I never considered myself an artist. I believed that artists were born, not made. I have since discovered that many different paths can make one an artist as long as you love what you do and work hard to grow and improve. Now I am working full-time as an artist and selling my work at juried art fairs and on my website. I am thrilled to be exhibiting at the Lincoln Gallery in Loveland, CO and the Museum of Boulder, and to be an active member of the Firehouse Art Center, East Boulder County Artists Association, Mile High Polymer Clay Guild, Longmont Polymer Clay Guild and to be the current president of the Rocky Mountain Bead Society.
