Biography

Diana Behl holds an MFA in printmaking from the University of Iowa, a BFA in two-dimensional and design studies from Bowling Green State University and is an associate professor in the School of Design at South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University. Behl has received grants from the Bush and Griffith foundations and the South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Arts Council to support her artistic and teaching practices, which are rooted in traditional printmaking processes and works on paper. Her recent projects use the structure of series and the serial to address time as both a lived and measured experience.

Solo, two- and three-person exhibits have been at the Greenleaf Gallery at Whittier College (Whittier, CA), PaperWorkers Local (Birmingham, AL), Kiehle Gallery at St. Cloud State University (St. Cloud, MN), The Contemporary Dayton (Dayton, OH) and the South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Art Museum (Brookings). Recent group exhibits include Cimarron National Works on Paper at the Oklahoma State University Museum of Art (Stillwater, OK), Timelapse at Louisiana Tech University (Ruston, LA) and Lonely Hearts: New Prints 2021/Summer at the International Print Center New York (New York).
