Graceful Art Ministry

Diane Green was born in Savannah, Georgia and has lived in Meriwether County, mostly Greenville, Georgia since 1979. She states, “This is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on Earth, and I am privileged to live where people come from other states to enjoy the scenery."

Diane has had no formal training; she states, “My ability to draw and paint is definitely a gift from God.” After a professional career as a registered nurse, she started in June of 2002 to draw and to use colored pencils. Delighted to discover her gift, she began to read books about drawing. Diane enjoys using graphite pencil, colored pencil, and paint. She does portraits from photos.

On August 5, 2003, Diane fell from the back of a Polaris Ranger while riding through the woods behind her house. Although she broke 2 bones in her neck and was paralyzed for a while, she
has now learned how to use both hands; “I use whichever hand will work the best at the time” she says. Diane gives God the credit for healing her and giving her “more joy and appreciation for life than ever.”
