Adrienne Diner
Adrienne Diner is a Winnipeg-born media artist who has worked across multiple mediums throughout her career, consistently drawn to materials she can physically manipulate. She studied ceramics in the 1970s at the University of Denver, where she earned a master's degree, and also pursued MFA studies in England.
During what can be characterized as her fabric period in the 1980s, Diner worked extensively with silk and other fabric dyes, creating quilted hangings and wearable pieces. From her south Winnipeg studio, she produced hangings, bedspreads, table runners, placemats, and louvered blinds. Her work during this period served both private residences and commercial clients, while also being exhibited in galleries across Canada and some locations in the United States. She noted that her quilting process was evolutionary, with finished pieces often differing significantly from their original conception.
In the mid-1990s, Diner expanded into rug design, collaborating with contacts in the carpet business. This work included participating in trade shows and importing hand-made rugs of Tibetan wool produced by artisans in Nepal.
In 2000, Diner and her lifelong partner Harvey Wasiuta relocated to Ottawa when he took a senior position with the Federal Government. It was in Ottawa that Diner began working with glass for the first time. Through connections made in the local bridge-playing community, she was introduced to a glass artist who provided studio access and kiln use. Diner developed skills in glass fusing, shape manipulation, and the incorporation of different colors and metallics into her work.
The couple returned to Winnipeg in 2014, where Diner has focused primarily on personal projects. She has incorporated her artistic practice into their living space, including mixing nine gallons of imported metallic paint to spray paint their condo cupboards in a copper finish. She frequently uses copper elements in her artwork and has created floral arrangement installations on their balcony, incorporating locally collected rocks and sand as well as materials gathered during stays in Florida.
Throughout her career, Diner has emphasized that color is the most important element in her artistic narrative. While she currently creates primarily for personal satisfaction, she maintains relationships with many former clients and reflects positively on her lifetime of artistic accomplishment.
