News
My recent work for Shade in LA, an installation at Arroyo Arts Collective to bring awareness to shade access, has been featured on the Sierra Club Blog and The Eastsider. My work discusses ways the privileged contribute to rising heat and suffering, often, in the ways that they escape it.

Next up, my work was selected to be a part of Taking it to the Net Degree, a show bringing focus to action in the face of rising heat, drought and wildfire.
Climate Challenge
I hosted a month long Climate Challenge during May 2022. If you’d like to take the challenge, go here: https://dianakohne.com/course/challenge/. It’s free and available any time. I also hosted the challenge in my Instagram Stories, which lives on in my highlights. My challenge addresses the most significant ways you contribute to climate change. I assign small actionable tasks to help you begin your new, low emission existence. The cure for eco-anxiety is to be the change.
Graphic Design & Illustration
My graphic work is colorful and is largely hand drawn. I create logos, fonts, book covers, posters, patterns and even websites for socially and environmentally conscious clients.
Pocket Press
I designed this mini press so all printmakers can press monoprints and etchings without a floor or tabletop press.
This handheld etching press prints larger than any other mini press. My presses have been featured in Pressing Matters Magazine and on Creative Bloq.
View Art
I’ve been painting the LA landscape for well over a decade.
Other series include tongue in cheek hand painted signs, and my more recent abstract work.

Passion Projects
Mini Portraits
Two of my artistic passions are drawing people and making art ownership accessible. My 5″ x 5″ mini portraits combine both.
