Artist Talk with Diane Falkenhagen

Come out and join us for an exciting artist talk by Diane Falkenhagen! Diane is a studio jeweler and educator known for her distinctive, one-of-a-kind art jewelry. She earned her B.F.A. from the University of North Texas and her M.F.A. from the University of Houston. A native Texan, Diane has also lived in Brazil, Alaska, and England—experiences that continue to inform her artistic perspective.
