Veterans Creative Expressions Workshop: Step Into Nature

Wednesday, April 10, 2024 | 11:00am - 12:00pm

Participants will paint and then pot and plant turtle vines from OMAM’s gardens into their very own ceramic garden boot during this Veterans Creative Expression Workshop led by Diamond Johnson. This unique art activity will be paired with a Garden tour provided by Garden Artisan Janett Taylor! All supplies will be provided, and no experience is needed.

Registration will close when workshop is full.

This FREE program is open to all U.S. veterans and active duty personnel. A spouse or other family member (age 16 or older) may take the workshop with their military member, but all participants must register in advance.

About Diamond Johnson, Curator of Youth & Outreach Programs

"My love for art began in Fayetteville, North Carolina, as I perused landscape painting as a child. My love for nature grew during high school as I obsessively photographed various islands throughout Japan. My love for our community heightened after my experiences as an art educator, Meals on Wheels coordinator, VPK volunteer, and art gallery assistant. As a daughter of a US Army 82nd Airborne veteran, I am so honored and grateful to work with the Ormond Memorial Art Museum & Gardens. Their mission and impact within our community inspire me to create and share positive experiences with Volusia County, and beyond!"
