Diane Davis

Diane Davis loves to paint and has a passion for teaching others. Diane has studied with numerous teachers and is a Certified Bob Ross Instructor. She is also certified as a Grumbacher Instructor qualifying her as a fine arts teacher.

Diane will lead painters in this March program as they create an acrylic painting on canvas. Welcome to the world of fine arts! This is a bit different from the usual for decorative artists who traditionally decorate various objects with artwork – an art form that has been called tole painting in the past.

This Brenda Harris design is a beautiful interpretation by Diane Davis. You and each painter will create a unique canvas.

You are welcome to bring a guest to share in this wonderful program.
GUESTS ARE WELCOME!
