Here’s What Others Have to
Say About Diane’s Classes and Workshops

“Thanks, Diane, for creating an environment where we could set our fears aside and experiment with bold color, wet-into-wet, adventurous textures, and negative painting techniques. I saw your passion for the organic shapes, colors, and textures in nature in your demos as well as in the work you shared. This experience gives me confidence to take more risks in my own work.” 

- Kim F.
