Diana showed an aptitude for drawing and painting at the age of two. Her parents encouraged her natural talent by supplying art materials and lessons. By her sixth birthday Diana knew that she wanted to be an artist. She won many first place and grand prize awards throughout her elementary and secondary school years. She majored in Fine Art at North Texas State University, in Denton, Texas, with a minor in psychology.
Diana is a member of the Chickamauga Cherokee, White River Band. She is very proud of her Cherokee heritage and has devoted most of her life to promoting Native American art and culture. If asked what she is most proud of, Diana will tell you her daughters Amber and Talana. At a young age, they are also exhibiting a talent for art, both having won several awards for their work. And so the brush is passed.
