Diana Madaras
Readers Pick
Like the understudy who makes it big in classic show-biz movies, artist Diana Madaras is an overnight sensation. In 1993, inspired by a watercolor painting trip to Greece, Madaras shuttered her marketing company and set herself up as a full-time artist. Before long, her trademark paintings-boldly colored desert watercolors-were everywhere, in the airport, in local magazines, on her own line of notecards and calendars. Madaras soon opened her own gallery, and just recently added a second location in the foothills. Madaras also gives back to the community, donating her paintings to various causes and raising money for furry friends via her Art for Animals Foundation.
