Dianne Hayes Quarles is a polymer clay artist and jewelry
designer. She is known for her hand-sculpted faces capturing the beauty of people of the African Diaspora. She is a lifelong designer and craftsperson with a previous background in clothing and textile arts. Dianne began designing beaded jewelry in 2001 after joining her sister and mother in their fine art company, Maruva DQ. The name was created to represent four generations of creative Black women in her family. Under the tutelage of her mother, she discovered the versatility of polymer clay which became her favorite medium. Dianne’s work has been exhibited in museums and juried art shows and received an award from the National Polymer Clay Guild.

Dianne’s jewelry sculptures are miniature masterpieces. She hand sculpts each face to give each one a unique personality and attitude. Working under magnification, it can take hours, sometimes days to get one distinct face just right. Once the character is formed, it is then adorned to fit its personality and character. She creates detailed adornments using polymer clay, hand beading, semiprecious gems and other materials to create a striking piece of wearable art. Each creation is an artistic conversation piece you can show off wherever you go!

As the daughter of a former Tuskegee Airman and career Air Force officer, Dianne grew
up traveling the world. This exposure gave her an international perspective and
appreciation of her heritage and culture which has greatly influenced her artistic
perspective.
