Artiste multidisciplinaire de Chelsea Quebec, Diane tire son inspiration de l’histoire de la région. Elle est fascinée par les innombrables possibilités que lui offrent les fibres naturelles pour ses créations.
Son style particulier de feutrage se distingue par l’incorporation de matières récupérées. Ainsi, elle crée des objets multimédias mixtes évoquant un lien entre le passé et le mode de vie actuel.
Diane Lemire s’inspire du monde naturel qui l’entoure pour créer des sculptures en techniques mixtes, de l’art textile et des peintures évoquant la mémoire, le temps et le lieu. Après une jeunesse à voyager et à travailler à l’étranger, elle a étudié les beaux-arts à l’Université d’Ottawa. Diane fusionne fibres naturelles et matières recyclées. Elle a exposé partout dans la région et, en 2010, a reçu le prix du Mississippi Valley Textile Museum.
