Dianne continues to teach Art for her Foundation. Her Family Saturday art classes are very popular and she also mentors aspiring artists and writers of all ages. This truly classic story: LADY LUCY'S GHOST QUEST is a remarkable celebration of valued learning experiences that took place at the Everett Estate; an Estate close to Dianne's heart. Dianne helped Southern Vermont College as one of the founder instructors and remained and developed the four year Liberal Arts program as Dean and Provost during a tenure of ten years. The illustrator, Georgia Hamp, was recognised quickly by Dianne's Foundation when she was a student as one of the most gifted illustrators. Their teamwork has, indeed, complimented one of the most inspirational stories, bestowing the potential of impassioned literature.Georgia Hamp was born in Ockley Surrey England and studied Art History and Architecture at University. She was recognised early as a very talented illustrator and team player, supporting graphic design projects and publications. Her love of Art History proved very valuable to the Lady Lucy Ghost Quest. Dianne introduced her to the Edwardian Art work of John S. Goodhall. With excellent visual literacy, she analysed the images and the objects of the time. Georgia's experience as a student of Architecture was incredibly valuable to the story. One will never forget her illustration of the Everett Estate Cascade! Also, her experience, working with designers embellished the intelligence of the designs presented to her. Imagine being confronted with the design plan of placing parts of the story in the crystals of the chandelier! Georgia's ability to effectively surpass the design briefs proved to be incredibly complimentary to one of the most memorable stories. Indeed, as an artistic team player, Georgia's talent supported the dedication of the Lucy Quest stories with an impressive recreation of the splendid architecture and era, along with the visions of hope; past, present and future.
