Born in Brooklyn, New York, Diane now lives and works in the countryside of New Jersey and coastal Maine. She studied at the Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art and uses her practice to advocate for economic, social, and political equality. Her work is shaped by intergenerational familial connections that trace back to the difficult conditions found in sweatshops, and she continues to examine how women’s labor histories are carried through domestic materials, garment forms, and textile logic.

Phares has exhibited widely, with her pieces acquired by corporate and private collections, and her work continues to appear in respected publications. She also lectures, presenting at equity‑focused conferences, programs supported by the National Endowment for the Humanities, and galleries such as the George Segal Gallery.
