Diane Burns-Haussler - Visual Artist
A Native Californian, I was born in Oakland CA, May 28, 1948, and have lived in the San Francisco Bay area all my life, currently in Half Moon Bay for the past 25 years.
BIOGRAPHY
I have always been interested in drawing and painting, inspired by my father who was an accomplished artist and photographer. He also had a talent for writing stories and verse, illustrating his creations.
In 1982, shortly after the death of my first husband, (daughter Christine’s father) I took a leap of faith to support myself with my art and music, which I have continued to do to this day. I made my living from 1982 up until around 2002 doing street shows, art festivals, museum and gallery shows. The list is too long to list and I would be hard pressed to remember it all.
In 1995 I married my best friend and love of my life, Ed Haussler and moved to Half Moon Bay. Ed was always one of my greatest fans and support but during the 22 years that we spent together I made the decision to downsize the attention to my music and art to make room for “Us”.
I never figured I would actually retire because creativity continues to run through my veins yet I have noticed it taking a different course and slowing down to a pace more manageable and enjoyable.
