Dianne Roberts Art Studio
For original one-of-a-kind art from an expe- rienced multimedia artist, look no further than Dianne Roberts Art Studio, 145 W. South St. in Benton.

Whether it is a photograph or a memento, Roberts makes sure customers leave her studio with smiles on their faces and wonderful keepsakes of their visit. In addition to purchasing a work of art, customers can also learn to be artists them- selves through adult art classes that are hosted in the form of independent studies, during
which each person works in his or her choice of media and subject.

Art classes and painting parties with five or more guests are available by app- ointment. Currently, Roberts has limited- edition historical Scenes From Saline prints available for purchase.
