Shannon Slattery received her Bachelors of Science in Studio Art from Skidmore College and a Masters of Science in Art Education from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She is currently a high school art teacher in Newton. As a painter Slattery is guided by process; she applies paint by any and all means and will just as often wipe, sand or scrape the board as paint with a brush. At the intersection of drawing and painting, color, line, and texture are the means to describe what she sees and how she connects with her environment.
