First in landscapes, Dee went on to become certified in Florals in 1996, and Wildlife in 2000. Though her focus at the time was raising a family and working as a nurse, since retirement in 2013, Dee found teaching helped fulfill her lifetime dream of becoming an artist. The Bob Ross technique inspired Dee to put brush to canvas and her goal is to help bring students the same courage, confidence and fulfillment painting “Happy Little Trees” brought her.

Dr. Z was an inspired professional, a tenacious individual and a compassionate human being. She spoke her truth without compromise and truly appreciated the many blessings bestowed on her by family and friends.
