Dianne Dengel

Dianne was born on January 1, 1939 in Rochester and grew up in chili, a suburb of Rochester, where her father built a modest house out of scraps of wood, where she lived all her life.  Her mother Mildred noticed her daughter's interest in art and helped her take advantage of it. Mildred brought home pieces of cardboard from the Department store where she worked. Since her family was poor, there were no expenses in the budget, such as brushes and canvas. Dianna she was saving up for a brush and paint. Dianne's recognition came in 1984.
