Slater Barron received her M.F.A. at the California State University, Long Beach and her bachelor's degree at the University of California, Irvine, She had the privilege of studying with art notables John Paul Jones and William Wegman. Now, she is inspired by my surroundings and those I hold dear as well as many social causes she feels strongly about.
