Spotlight program: "Current Color - A Year on the River" Diana Thomas In-Person
Presented by Columbia, PA Artist/Illustrator - Diana Thomas.
Diana has worked for more than 40 years as an illustrator, drawing instructor, and needle craft & greeting card designer. Diana's best-known work is a series of fifty-three paintings of the Susquehanna River which she calls "Current Color - A Year on the River". She speaks about the artistic life lessons learned while tackling this personal commitment to paint a scene from the Susquehanna River every week for an entire year. She credits this unusual work with being instrumental in helping her navigate troubled waters, including the tragic deaths of her daughter and her daughter's mate to heroin addiction during that year of painting. Everything about her presentation is applicable in our lives, from her painting technique to how she sees things, setting goals, commitment, riding the rapids of life, and the peace-giving continuity of the river's flow.
Copies of her book about this series will be available to purchase for $18.00.
