Laura Shabott and Alana Barrett
Artists Laura Shabott and Alana Barrett have wildly different backgrounds, ages and approaches to painting. What they share is a driving commitment for excellence as teachers.

Courses
Courses run by Laura Shabott and Alana Barrett are both rigorous and compassionate, with weekly challenges that build on the course material. Each workshop is designed around a fundamental idea and specifically for the hosting arts center or museum.
