Diane Greenbaum

Kidcreate Studio - Alexandria

Diane left the corporate life when she realized her current goals no longer matched ambitions formed early in her career.

Diane is excited to share her love of the arts with her son and the kids of Alexandria where making a mess is the best at the art studio (and better than cleaning up at home)!
