The work of Studio Incamminati artists goes well beyond the studio walls with community outreach that takes many forms.

Shira Friedman already had earned her BFA from Syracuse University and pursued studies at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. But, it was at a Studio Incmminati form painting workshop when her true direction as an artist beckoned.

For Jennifer Hagen Bowen, an art career is more than just “pushing paint” it's about pushing through.

While India is not renowned for a widespread realist art scene, alumni Joe Dolderer says he felt right at home during his master class/live-model painting demonstration in Bangalore.His friend, and current Studio Incamminati student Jay Varma, made sure of that.  

 The 50 portrait sittings Princess Diana shared with Studio Incamminati founder Nelson Shanks produced more than the beautiful painting that hangs in Althorp, her family’s ancestral home. Those weeks together in a borrowed London studio forged a special friendship between the princess and the artist.

Instructor Emeritus Stephen Early, so much a part of the birth and growth of Studio Incamminati, is returning as a faculty member.

Studio Incamminati instructors Kerry Dunn and Katya Held both earned Finalist awards in the Still Life category in the 12th International ARC Salon.One of the premier competitions for contemporary realist artists, the contest drew more than 3,000 entries by 640 artists from 63 countries.

Studio Incamminati artists are not only creating meaningful art but using it to change lives.
For proof, look no further than fourth-year students Jason Patrick Jenkins and Michela Mansuino.

Kathleen Moore’s Portrait Project, painting Alla Prima portraits of New Hope Academy students, was about more than making art.

It was about making connections.
