Dianne Koehler: community activist, library founder, artist, gardener, teacher

some of my recent painted items


I have been painting for over 20 years, mostly in acrylics and other non-oil media. I have taught adults and kids as I love sharing my love of art with others. I have owned and operated Wooden it be Wonderful for over 20 years, making and painting all types of items. I teach a weekly arts & crafts class for families at the Wells Branch Library, art classes for grades K-5th at a local private school, and occasional classes for adults.

I am a member of SDP and the Heart of Texas Tolers and do the electronic newsletter each month and manage the website. HOTT 
I founded the Wells Branch Community Library and completed my 6th and last term  of elected office to have a little more time in my life.  

I am working with several others to create an active home gardening group in the community and maintain a blog for this and my own gardening. I harvest rainwater and have many barrels to store the water and use it in my vegetable garden.  I am now involved in an effort to bring gardens to the students at Wells Branch Elementary teaching one afternoon each week in the garden program.
 
I am excited to be offering Art mini-camps in Wells Branch again this summer. Most of the camps in 2012 will be held at the Renaissance Academy where I teach art during the school year. The school is trying to raise funds for a full science lab and the camp will assist in this fundraiser. I will also be offering sessions at the Wells Branch MUD annex. We will be helping raise funds for "Trees for Trails" this summer to help green the trails. 












 Take a look at some of the artistic things I am doing by clicking on the links. Instructions for the fall raffia scarecrow are below. Recipies for several of the projects from camp are on the Arts & Crafts blog below.
