Dinett was born in Aguadulce, a very small town in the Republic of Panama. As a young girl, drawing was her favorite pastime. She began formal art studies at the age of 17 at the University of Panama and paid her college tuition through Freelance artwork and graphic designs.
Dinett had the wonderful fortune of meeting renowned Panamanian artist Manuel Chong Neto through one of her college professors. His work continues to influence her creativity and passion.
After graduating from the University of Panama with a BA in Graphic Art (Licenciatura en Diseno Grafico), Dinett worked as a commercial graphic artist for two different clothing companies.
Upon moving to the United States, Dinett

embarked on a six-year endeavor to promote and teach art to elementary school students in the public school system for the state of Georgia. Dinett believed that her students could learn and apply advanced art techniques on a variety of mediums at a very young age if the correct approach was used. Many of her students won awards at local, state and national level competitions. Her teaching approach assisted the public school system administrators in improving and expanding the art program in their county.
Dinett's journey as a professional artist continued to expand as she took on the leadership role of Area X Chairman for the Florida Artists Group. FLAG is one of longest standing non-profit art organizations in the state Florida.
Dinett creates artwork with a unique style and passion. Her work has received acclaims both nationally and internationally in the United States, Paris, Rome, Venice, Beijing, as well as other venues in Europe.
With each artwork Dinett strives to transfer positives ideas and emotions to enrich people's lives especially during these hard times. Dinett has always been enchanted by the beauty of nature, people and places and continues paint where she currently resides in Newnan, Georgia.
