Diane Wheeler graduated from UMaine with a social work degree. Employed by the State of Maine for 25 years, she retired as a Case Work Supervisor for children’s services. Basket making started as a hobby, and a way to relax from work. But since retirement, it has become a second career. She’s been making baskets now for over 40 years! Diane does a few artistic craft fairs and demonstrations (such as Norlands Farm museum), and sells her baskets in a local Maine craft store.
