dian sourelis

mixed media artist

dian is a lifelong resident of Chicago, currently living in rural North Carolina. She is the daughter of abstract painter Stanley Sourelis, one of the original members of Chicago’s Wells Street Gallery group in the 1950’s. dian grew up around painters, poets and musicians and loved making constructions out of what she found while playing and riding her bike in her Hyde Park neighborhood. This, along with the encouragement of her artistic family, laid the groundwork for future experimentation and a life of making art.
