––  The Artist

 

John Diamond-Nigh lives with his wife in Buffalo. He has graduate degrees in Humanities, Art History and Creative Writing. He was a notable contributor to the craft/art movement in Pennsylvania and the country at large in the 70s and 80s and from there moved on to experimentation with paper and gold, as well as branching into award-winning interior design. He has been a teacher for most of his life.

"'Space is the greatest luxury' the architect Richard Rogers once said. Perhaps. It is also a loom that weaves conversation, music, food, solitude, companionship, furniture and art in a ––choose your word––spiritual or psychological blend suited to us, a companionable atmosphere that enhances and sometimes startles our lives." 

​

John's work has been exhibited in many prominent places including the Philadelphia, Yale University and Denver Museums of Art. He has been an artist-in-residence at Alfred University and has been featured in The New York Times, Fine Woodworking and the Paris Review. He has published three books of poetry and short fiction and has won prominent awards for his work.

"In the end, any syllabus of achievement should be implicit in the work I'm doing now."
