Former Spencerport teacher continues passion for art

Art has been Diane Bradley’s profession and her passion. She received her BS in Art Education from SUNY New Paltz and her MS from Nazareth College. She taught art to middle and high school students in Spencerport for 30 years, from 1969 to 1999.

Diane and her husband, Bill Mayer, retired and moved to St. Augustine, Florida, in 2000. It was there she discovered the St. Augustine Art Association (STAAA). She immediately joined as a Life Member, entering shows (winning a few awards), volunteering as a Docent, and teaching children’s and adult art classes. She joined the Board of Directors in 2004 and has served as its President since 2008. Her goal is to leave an enduring legacy to the community by contributing her time, talent and resources to the St. Augustine Art Association.

The STAAA held a 100th Anniversary Celebration in January. In honor of the countless contributions made by Diane Bradley and her husband, the Art Association designated its Main Gallery as the “Diane Bradley & Bill Mayer Gallery.”

The STAAA posted on social media, “We are grateful for Diane, Bill, and all of those who have made the Art Association what it is today.”
