Paulette DiGesare
About the Artist
Born and raised in upstate New York, Paulette grew up with beautiful folk art all around her. Her paternal grandmother was from Moravia in Czechoslovakia and generationally, a family of wonderful artist. As a child, Paulette was attracted to art and color in general. One of her most prized gifts as a child was the “big” box of 72 colors of Crayola crayons.
During this time Paulette’s grandmother started teaching her traditional flower motifs used in their painting, embroidery and decoration. Her interest in art continued through her school years, basically with drawing, never getting into paint. She graduated college from SUNY Oneonta majoring in Home Economics Education. Her creativity, design and teaching skills were honed during that time.
It wasn’t until Paulette was married, with a newborn, that she saw a class advertised at a local craft shop on learning to paint. It caught her attention because the project was a traditional “folk art” design. Paulette signed up for the class and that was the beginning of her painting career!
She taught at a local craft shop, her local SDP chapter meetings, and designed special projects for fundraisers and NET. Teaching on a regular basics was eventually curtailed as many shops were starting to close and she was involved in a family print and graphics business.
In 2016, Paulette’s friend encouraged her to submit a project to teach at NET. It was the beginning of a new journey. She received such a positive response that she started accepting invitations to travel teach. The next chapter is still being written as Covid-19 entered the picture and we are embarking on ZOOM. Paulette is still living in the area where she grew up with her husband, Larry. Her two grown daughters are married and live close by, and each has given them the joy of a granddaughter. Paulette feels blessed to have a family that supports her in all of her endeavors.

Webinar Info
How Webinars Work
All webinars are LIVE, interactive, and virtually through Zoom.
Once registered for a webinar, students receive an email confirmation with a CHECK LIST they will need to follow PRIOR to the date of the session. More often than not, artists provide prep instructions to be completed before the start of class.
Students will need to refer to their Confirmation Email to access digital instructions, line drawings, and to launch the Zoom Classroom when it opens on the day of class.
Students should attempt to enter the Zoom Classroom 30 minutes prior to the start of class. If a student is unable to access the Zoom Classroom, they should call the Support Team at (603) 420-8794. They should NOT email or PM via social media platforms if they’re trying to enter a Zoom Classroom.
Materials & Tools
Class registrations open approximately 8 weeks prior to the date of the class. This is to provide students ample time to order any supplies required for the project. Some artists may choose to provide surfaces and/or kits for an additional fee.
Additionally, artists may include prep work within their instructions. Any prep work will be noted clearly within instructions and students will be expected to complete any prep work prior to the start of class.
Refunds, Exchanges, & Credits
There are NO REFUNDS. In accordance to the Terms & Conditions, which students are required to agree to prior to submitting payment, refunds will not be given.
It is the student’s responsibility to review the mediums/supplies, dates, and times of webinars of interest. This information is always provided under each project tile, as well as on the registration page. Check personal calendars for any conflicts PRIOR to registering for a webinar. Refunds will not be granted if you are unable to attend, as instructions for the project are provided immediately after registration and the majority of our webinars offer a Video Replay for 30 days after the class.
There are NO EXCHANGES! Meaning, students will not be permitted to exchange one webinar for another should they decide to not want to take a webinar; nor will they be given permission to exchange the same webinar for a different date if a repeat date becomes available.
Credit will NOT be given. Students are provided immediate access to an e-pattern and prep-video (if teacher provides one), and they will still have access to the instructions and Video Replay for up to 30 days.
Skill Level Varies
While most classes are skilled for Intermediate to Advance, please check projects individually for skill level information.
