Join us on August 27 from 6-8 pm for NEVERLAND, a personal look into the imaginary world of artist Diana Diriwaechter.

Artist Statement:
As a child growing up in Switzerland my family and I spent many summers in a remote cabin in the alps. Besides spending much time reading books, my mother often told me wonderful stories of far away worlds full of fantastic characters. During the day I spent many hours exploring the alpine meadows in the company of these imaginary friends. Today many of my portraits are of characters who escaped from this fantasy world. They each carry with them their own unique story. I hope the imagery evokes the imagination of the viewer to come up with their own background for each inhabitant. The portraits do not represent the actual people in the images, they are fabricated. The sets and props have all been created by me. By capturing the character in my photograph I am able to stop them from aging just as in the famous children's story. They only exist in these images and no where else.

Can't wait!
