Come celebrate this inspiring collection of watercolor batik works and connect with fellow art lovers in our community.

Join us on Friday, November 14 from 4:00–7:00 PM for an inspiring evening with Diane Freed, a talented Colorado native whose creativity bridges the worlds of poetry, storytelling, and visual art.

Diane discovered her passion for the arts early on—writing her own books as soon as she learned to write and expressing herself through both words and visual mediums. She is the author of Off The Short Leash, a collection of whimsical poems and thought-provoking prose, and her work is also featured in the Last Saturday Poets Anthology. One of her true-life inspired short stories will appear in an upcoming anthology this year.

Beyond writing, Diane is the creator and host of Coffee with a Poet on YouTube, where she interviews poets and musicians. She’s an active voice in the local creative community—organizing events, speaking at open mics, recording in the studio, and bringing art and poetry to life.

Come meet Diane, explore her work, and enjoy an evening celebrating creativity, connection, and the written word.
