The talent behind db Photography is Diane Bolinger, the artist
who, in her former life, spent
her time restoring the gold masterpiece ceilings of the Chrysler
Building and Radio City Music
Hall. After lying on her back to
paint for hours (like Michelangelo), she would emerge with
gold-leaf paint all over her face.
Back then she lived and worked
in New York with the DC9
Painter’s Union. Now, this native Weatherford artist has returned to her hometown to raise
her son Jack (an award-winning
artist in his own right) and to
teach at Weatherford High
School, her alma mater.
