In conversation with Diana Orinda Burns - Printmaker
Diana Orinda Burns is a professional printmaker who has workshops running through the Castlemaine Stage Festival this year, an annual festival celebrating many different forms of art.
Diana's works are held in major national and international art galleries. Passionate about printmaking and teaching, she has printed works for indigenous Western Dessert artists, Archibald finalists and most recently John Olsen.
We caught up with Diana during her first workshop for the Castlemaine State Festival. We discussed the festival, the region, her workshops and her printmaking career.
"The Castlemaine State Festival is a wonderful festival to come and visit. Its also fabulous for any artist, whether their in the visual arts, or their a musician, or a playwright. Its just so broad."
