Thank you for your interest in my art and all things watercolor. I am Lana Quann, a self-taught, slightly obsessed watercolor artist. 
I returned to art in 2018 after 30 years when an unexpected change in employment uprooted my day-to-day existence. Upon the suggestion of my supportive husband, I took a year off to figure things out. I missed being "an artist" and looked around and challenged myself to learn the complex and magical art of watercolor. Through many failed paintings, I found a connection with the natural world. I never lose inspiration in nature, whether it's a composition created from hikes, drives or local scenery, animals I observe or colors I dare to recreate I found myself happier, calmer and more Intune with the world. I created "The Wandering Brush" as a way to connect everyone through the beauty of our world, to focus on the positive, to search for a new way to express ourselves. I found myself happiest connecting with people at craft and artisan fairs sharing both art and hobbies. In 2021 I became a full-time working artist, this is both a challenge and a blessing. I work hard to create work that is both interesting and affordable. Purposely choosing to work with small businesses and shops rather than galleries. I believe everyone should own original art and it shouldn't be intimidating or expensive. I create pieces that I consider "fine art meets craft". As always, I follow the path that opens up for me and for several years, I have grown a group of watercolor students both in Massachusetts & Maine. Thank you for stopping by and I hope to connect with you soon!
