	Dianne Barske, artist and author, has lived in Alaska for 35 years. She has written and illustrated award-winning books about animals at the Alaska Zoo. She is also the author of a biography of Alaska cultural pioneer, Lorene Harrison, a book titled “Mostly Music.” Dianne teaches art to children and finds that a great adventure. The American Diabetes Association has chosen her work four times in a national Holiday Art Search competition for its annual holiday cards. She is the mother of three and grandmother of two. She is also an admirer of animals, with a house full of three dogs, a cat, and a turtle. So focusing her talents on the Alaska Zoo came naturally.
