She is an artist, knitwear designer, writer.

As a member of Boston Handmade, Diane spends time promoting her work at various art venues and teaches fiber arts classes at the Eliot School of Fine & Applied Arts in Jamaica Plain, the Roxbury YMCA and elsewhere. A knitter for the last ten years, dyer, spinner and crocheter for six years, Diane looks forward to expanding her business in the fall of 2012 with her knitwear accessory line.

“Color breathes life into my soul and creates this fulfilling energy in my work. I can’t imagine a world without color. I embrace my energy and color schematics through reflecting on artists such as Georgia O’Keefe, Andy Warhol, Salvador Dali, and graffiti artists. When you merge colors together you create one of kind creations that are hard to replicate which makes Lady Dye hand-painted yarns stunning.” ~Diane Ivey
