Art in the Library presents: Water colors by Diana Roberts

The College of Veterinary Medicine welcomes Diana Roberts, who is displaying her artwork in the Animal Health Library, located on the first floor of Wegner Hall (Room 170) during Spring Semester 2013. Diana, who is an agronomist with WSU Extension working out of Spokane, chauffeurs her dog and cat to visit hospice patients – and then paints watercolors which depict the human‐animal bond that develops between them. Diana also paints custom portraits and landscapes where she hikes, bikes, and skis.

Art in the Library features artwork with animal themes and artists with a connection to the WSU College of Veterinary Medicine. If you are interested in displaying your art in the Animal Health Library, please contact Vicki Croft at croft@vetmed.wsu.edu 

Please join us on Friday, March 22, to meet Diana Roberts, featured artist, to view her collection of watercolors now on display in the Animal Health Library.
