Description

On Monday, July 30, the league has scheduled a special presentation.  Noted local artist Diane McPhail is the guest speaker.  Her work has been collected worldwide and may be found in galleries, private collections, and corporate settings.  Locally, her work may be found at The Bascom and the Carolina Gallery of Fine Art.  Those fortunate enough to know Diane realize that her resume includes far more than creating exceptional art.  While she holds a MFA from Georgia State University, she also holds an MA in Clinical Art Therapy, as well as a Doctorate in Ministry with specialties in Creativity and Spirituality, and is an ordained interfaith minister. 
She has been a high school teacher, director of Ariel Gallery at Tula in Atlanta, instructor at the Atlanta College of Art, Clinical Art Therapist at Northside Hospital in Atlanta, and after moving to Highlands in the late 90s, has conducted retreats and workshops at her spacious and unique studio.  Diane is also a poet, and her debut novel is scheduled for release in May 2019.  Currently she is working on a sequel as well as participating in The Bascom’s Mountains in Bloom.
One never knows the next direction Diane’s life will take.  The public must pay close attention to keep up with her.  Diane believes that if you want to do a thing, you can, and her many accomplishments bear out that belief.  The presentation is at 5:00 P.M. following a wine reception at 4:30 P.M.
