The Mosaic Project

The Hardy Gallery in Ephraim, WI, sponsors a fund-raiser each year, The Community Mosaic Project. Artists are invited to create a work on a 6″ square canvas and donate it to the gallery to be exhibited in the gallery as part of the large “mosaic” of all the works.

Working with Diane

Mary Diman, Red and White Roses, oil on canvas, from life, sold.

Diane Rath was a wonderful painter and a wonderful teacher. I was fortunate to be able to take two workshops with her. She was principled and demanding and her love of painting energized the studio. Diane passed away in 2011 at the age of 58.
