Diana Reuter-Twining , an award winning sculptor and architect, attributes her focus on the  natural world to having been raised on a family farm in Virginia and living in rural  communities throughout the American West and South. Her primary training as an  architect gave her the tools she needed to understand form” in the round” and to look at  sculpture from the ground up. Many of her pieces are driven from a concept established at  the base of a piece. Equipoise & Maestro are two examples of this. They are in the  permanent collection of The National Sporting Library and Museum. 

Grasshopper, in Brookgreen Gardens’ permanent collection, explores this by establishing  a piece of cantilevered steel, made to suggest a blade of grass. Sculpture and architecture  share the dimension of time. In order to appreciate a piece of sculpture or a building, you  must factor in a change of perspective, compelling you to explore from multiple angles. 

Diana has exhibited with The National Sculpture Society, The Society of Animal Artists, The  National Museum of Wildlife Art, The Woolaroc Museum, The Desert Caballeros Western  Museum, Birds in Art, and won the Grand Prize for sculpture at AWA’s Annual Exhibition at  the Bennington Center for the Arts.
