Diana Rell Dean returned to her birthplace in Tensaw, Alabama from south
Florida. She has been an artist all her life, starting with an extensive dance career. She was a choreographer, teacher and performer of Modern Dance in the Wigman and Hawkins traditions.
Diana began to paint and developed a career in Stuart, Florida, where she opened a new studio on the upper St. Lucie River, which she named, “Riverhouse Workshop.” The Riverhouse Workshop is now located on 150 acres in the upper Mobile-Tensaw River Delta in Tensaw/Stockton, AL in North Baldwin County.
Since her return, Diana has developed a Studio, offering classes; as well as a Gallery, where shows are held; a Marketplace for sales from the gallery and the Little Pine Cone Dress Shop; a Lodge, for classes, lectures, demonstrations, luncheons, meetings, and retreats; and currently almost complete, a The Pottery.
