Jennings is known for her monthly art classes in Fort Madison and occasionally in Burlington. As a result of her frequent teaching in a wide variety of media, she is well acquainted with many artists throughout this part of Iowa.

Jennings describes herself as "a true Dabbler in Art" which is apparent in her many experiments in a wide variety of media. She has samples in acrylics, oil pastels, soft pastels, watercolor, sculpting, pottery, felting, quilting, drawing, scratch art, stained glass, and many more media.

Her show in the library includes a number of examples of her work with Wrapped Rocks.

Diane uses photos from her extensive travels as inspiration, and her sampling currently on display in the Mount Pleasant Public Library shows her love of travels.
