Dianna Walters-Hartley is a St. Louis–based artist and co-founder of Heart Mechanics which is a decommodified, peer-led community practicing the art of being human through presence, compassion and creative expression.

Her participatory works — Attune-UP and The Heart Car — integrate mindfulness, neuroscience, and creative expression to nurture personal and collective well-being. Dianna’s art invites people to co-create cultures of care where art is not just seen, but lived together.
