Dianna Thornhill Miller is a nationally known
artist from
the Midwest. She is an accomplished artist who has
exhibited widely and created hundreds of commissioned
works of art located in public and corporate settings,
cultural environments and private collections in the
United States, Europe, and Asia. Dianna was the first
woman artist to have a solo exhibition in the Fort Wayne
Museum of Art in Indiana, and a large-scale steel sculpture she
created is in the Museum’s permanent collection.
As a major
sculptor in the fiber art movement, in 1983 she was the
only American invited to exhibit at the Salon d’Automne
in the Grand Palais in Paris (annual exhibition of
internationally recognized, important new art), and was
also invited to be a presenter and exhibitor at the
International Association of Women Architects’
symposium, “Art Related to the Child”, at the Palais des
Congres, in Paris. In 2000, Dianna was selected to
create “Diversity, Unity, Community”, the piece of art
(located in the City County Building) commemorating and
celebrating the turn-of-the-century for Fort Wayne.
Among her important permanent
installations are works in the Sears Tower (Chicago),
and projects executed for the corporate headquarters of
Kaiser Permanente (Los Angeles), Magnavox (D.C.), Blue
Cross (Indianapolis), Mobil Oil (Virginia), NIPSCO, GTE,
IBM, GE, Lincoln National Corp., as well, as Fox Island
County Park, Fort Wayne Performing Arts Center, Yale
University, the Honeywell Center, and for Huntington,
Lutheran, Parkview, and Duke Memorial hospitals. Her
work can also be found in banks, schools, art centers
and libraries in California, Indiana, Ohio and Illinois.
Currently, Dianna is working on public sculpture for
Parkview Field in Fort Wayne, Indiana. The sculpture is
highly stylized flower representing Fort Wayne's
commitment to the arts. You may learn about
the project at the
