Teachers

Annalisa Shanks is a realist oil painter specializing in still life and portraiture. Having previously earned an A.A. in Photography and a B.A. in English Literature, Annalisa will graduate from Philadelphia's contemporary realist atelier, Studio Incamminati, in May of 2025 after having completed the 4-year full-time program. Annalisa has been accepted into Studio Incamminati’s Fellowship program, which will award her a private studio in their South Philadelphia location for one year. In addition to teaching, she intends on spending this time to build a rich body of still life and portrait work, uniting visual, literary, naturalistic and blithely feminine themes -- communicating the contents of her imagination while honoring her unwavering commitment to classical realism.
