Diane Witcher is a Wyoming native, born in Casper in 1957.  As a function of her ranching background and her later profession in the communications industry, Diane has spent most of her life living and working outdoors.  These original basket designs reflect the beauty she sees in Wyoming’s unique landscape and are made of many naturally harvested materials from the around the area. 

While hiking in the Devils Tower area Diane discovered a whitetail deer antler which, laying in the fashion the deer shed it, inspired the original basket design.  Since that point she has created basket art using mule and whitetail deer, elk, and moose antlers.  She allows the natural shape of the antler to dictate the form of each basket so no two are alike. 

Several different colors and textures are woven into the baskets to make her unique style more artistic and appealing to the eye.  Frequently, Native American beadwork is incorporated in order to relate an ancient story and art form through “modern” art.  Her artistic efforts to date have culminated in her receipt of the Fine Arts Award from the Wyoming State Historical Society.

Today, Diane lives and works in Jackson Hole.  She has been making baskets for over 25 years and her works are widely collected.
