Duo at Diamondhill cultivate art, education and community

Jennifer and Steve Weinert had a vision when first moving to rural Kewanna from Tinley Park, Illinois, nearly a decade ago.

 

Both longtime artists, with a passion to share their love for creativity and education, the rural setting of Fulton County seemed like the perfect canvas to start something new. 

 

Officially launching their newest project last month, 'Diamondhill' is a Kewanna studio, garden space and place for Heart, Art and Earth connections. Wanting to share their knowledge and experience, the couple hopes to cultivate creative curiosity by offering art, workshops, retreats, story telling, tai chi and more.

 

 

Steve is a well-recognized artist in Tinley Park for rendering industrial and historical buildings through sketches and watercolor.  His upcoming retirement means he can get back to his muse. Steve is looking foward to leading a classes with Jennifer for the Kewanna Tween and Teen Art Club, and is looking for any upcoming classes or commission work that may come his way. 

 

Jennifer, who has a degree in fine arts, hopes to also use her experience as a certified activity director, tai chi for health instructor, and mindfulness coach to help inspire the community as much as the community has inspired her. 

 

 

Currently seeking partners, Diamondhill is looking to expand into the community by doing offering local workshopsdemonstrations. Anyone interested in contacting the Duo at Diamondhill,  can do so by calling 574-653-1279 or checking them out on Facebook.
