Poetic Obituaries: [Diana Tillion] created an art gallery

in Halibut Cove that drew visitors across the bay and helped turn the isolated hamlet into a haven for Alaska artists over the ensuing decades.

She received a solo art show at the Anchorage Museum in 1971 and her work was shown around the country. She was also a writer, a member of the Alaska Poetry Society and the Alaska president of the National League of American Presswomen.
