Dinett was born in Aguadulce, a very small town in the Republic of panama. As a young girl, drawing was her favorite pastime.    Deciding to pursue art as a career, she began formal art studies at the age of 17 at the University of Panama. Dinett paid for her college tuition through Freelance artwork and graphic designs.

While studying at the University, Dinett had the wonderful fortune to meet renowned Panamanian artist Manuel Chong Neto through one of her college professors; Eduardo Perez. She spent many evenings admiring Chong Neto's work with a group of friends.  After graduating from the University of Panama with a BA in Graphic Art, Dinett worked as a commercial graphic artist for two different clothing companies.  

After marrying, Dinett moved to the United States and continued paint and teach art. In her 5 years as elementary school art teacher, she taught over 4,000 students and worked with the public school system administrators to improve and expand the art program in their county.

It is the freedom of creativity and expression and experiences with some great artists that continues to fuel her desire to create and share art. Dinett has always been enchanted by the beauty of nature, people and places and continues paint where she currently resides in Destin, Florida.
