Diana Patton has been a watercolorist most of her life, has won over 135 awards for painting, and teaches watercolor. Her paintings are in public and private collections here and abroad. She is a member of several professional watercolor groups and the American Artists Professional League.

Her life has always been populated with children and puppets and fish so she writes about them. Now she has entered a new world, writing and illustrating children’s books with her first endeavor, Charlemagne to the Rescue. Diana hopes Charlemagne will help children on their path to self-esteem, and will also let them know that strange new situations, may be just as good, or better, than old ones. Charlemagne has big plans for Diana and wants her to show and tell more of his adventures.
