Diana Stover grew up in Southern California amidst the highly colorful art of the sixties. She has been involved in art all her life. She spent twenty years creating original art dolls and teddy bears, winning numerous awards at various local, regional and national doll shows. She had the prestigious commission of creating the souvenir doll for two local doll conventions and two regional doll conventions. She showed at the World Toy Fair in New York City in 1999 and 2000. Then major life changes prompted her to retire from doll making and take up pastel, a medium that had been a back-burner favorite since she was a child. She has studied pastel extensively under Colleen Howe, a well-known Utah pastel landscape artist and instructor. Diana enjoys painting portraits and doing “people scenes” and other figurative work. Her love of camping and being in the outdoors has made landscapes another favorite.

She is currently has work in Art At The Main, a co-op gallery at the main library in Salt Lake City.
