An American Success Story: Brooke Lanier

Meet Brooke Lanier, a painter, art educator, and curator who owns Brooke Lanier Fine Art, a gallery, studio, and classroom in Philadelphia. She's just now putting the finishing touches on a painting she's been working on for 10 years! To Brooke, painting is "a pile of decisions," and a piece of advice she would give to a young or struggling artist that we feel really captures her dedication to the work is "never stop learning."
