About

OPUS ARDEN exists to inspire families to cultivate meaningful connections with their children and for individuals to find presence and peace within themselves. Through experiential learning, art, timeless design, and our curated art collections, we celebrate creativity and the beauty of nature—promoting curiosity, connection, and healing. We aim to create spaces that foster the joy of togetherness and the strength of self-reflection, encouraging people to rediscover the wonder in both the world around them and within.

Diane René Christian

Diane founded OPUS ARDEN from a lifelong connection to nature and storytelling. Her background in experiential learning and the arts shaped her vision of creating spaces that inspire connection, healing, and curiosity. Growing up in the natural beauty of the Brandywine River Valley and Valley Forge, Diane turned to nature and photography as part of her recovery after a serious health challenge. Her journey of healing—centered on nature, art, and family—became the foundation of OPUS ARDEN’s mission to bring moments of stillness, beauty, and connection into daily life.
