Diana Abouchacra

Diana Abouchacra is a Lebanese American mixed-media artist. She received her M.F.A. from Louisiana State University and her B.F.A. from the University of Connecticut.

Diana works in a variety of mediums including video, printmaking, installation and sound art. She loves incorporating experimental strategies and techniques into her studio practice. Themes that her artworks touch on include grief, vulnerability, ephemerality, multiplicity, and transformation.

Art making is an intuitive exploration for Diana, one that helps to process emotions where other approaches have failed. She views her artmaking as a safe space to delve into the depths of her pain – to witness, understand, reflect, and perhaps find resolve.

Diana’s work has been exhibited internationally, in museums, galleries and various collections in the U.S., Italy, and Lebanon. Most recently, her work has been exhibited in the Ogden Museum of Southern Art where she was awarded The Helis Foundation Art Prize for Best in Show.
