Lana Quann is a self-taught watercolorist from New Bedford, MA. She earned her B.A. in Art History from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, and has studied a variety of media. 
 
In 2018, after a 30-year hiatus from art, she picked up her brushes again, this time teaching herself the complex yet magical art of watercolor. Through persistence and encouragement, she created "The Wandering Brush" method, in which she shares her love for the magic of watercolor art in an everyday, simplified way and experiments with a variety of pigments, papers and brushes. She believes art is for everyone and puts aside the label of "fine art" to bring fun, exploration, and playfulness to both her work and the classrooms where she teaches.
