Art by Diane Weintraub
Thanks for visiting my Biography page! Let me tell you a bit about myself: I have an MFA and teach advanced drawing and art history on the college level in southern California. I'm very proud to say that I received the 2005 Award for Teaching Excellence by my students and peers.
My artwork is exhibited world-wide, and in numerous museums and university collections including the National Museum of Women in the Arts, the Museum of Modern Art's Franklin Furnace Collection, the prestigious Jaffee Collection at the Florida Atlantic University, Naples Museum of Art (Florida), and the San Diego Museum of Art, to name a few. I have a long list of both solo and group exhibition credits over the last 15 years.
My long abiding interests is the land and its many moods, especially the threatened areas of San Diego county.
The Southern California landscape has a unique look and feel that has been an artist's subject for the last 150 years. There's a reason: it is absolutely beautiful with its terrain of mountains, valleys, arroyos, chaparral, lakes, and especially plant life from the dramatic eucalyptus tree to the abundance of wildflowers.
The atomsphere is laden with moisture and sometimes dust, creating a golden light that takes your breath away!
San Diego is a popular location to vacation, live and work. It's success as a provider of that wonderful SoCal lifestyle might yet be its undoing. Development -- a must-have for the local economy -- threatenes many native locations, plants and animals. I hope to catch them before they are gone.
