Meet Diana Fisher — award-winning author, illustrator, artist, and the creative force behind Peewee Picasso®, a beloved how-to-draw series that has inspired young creators for more than 25 years. Known for her signature ability to break drawing into simple, joyful steps, Diana has guided countless children toward discovering their artistic confidence.

Diana’s books aren’t just art lessons — they are invitations for kids to explore imagination, build confidence, and experience the joy of creating something all their own.
Earlier in her career, Diana taught art to teens with behavioral disorders, where she helped develop a transformational, no-failure teaching approach. Working alongside an on-site psychiatrist, she discovered that free artistic expression offered a safe, empowering outlet for students to process emotions, trauma, and personal challenges. Her class later earned national recognition through the Special Arts Awards, affirming the far-reaching impact of her work.
Today, through Peewee Picasso® and her many artistic products, Diana continues to make creativity accessible, comforting, and fun for kids everywhere.
