Dancer in a Tutu Painting

Anne is a portrait and figurative artist who has recently returned to the Philadelphia area after living and working in England for the last 40 years. She spent seven years training - first at Pratt Institute, Brooklyn, and continued her education in both Cambridge and London, England. She now works mainly in pastel and oil. Her works hang in numerous homes and institutions both sides of the Atlantic - among them, Birkbeck College (University of London), Sony Studios in London's West End, Montgomery School in Pennsylvania, and prestigious private apartments high in the New York skyline. In recent years Anne's extensive body of work has included 20 portraits specially commissioned by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters - one of the most prestigious and discerning organisations for portraiture in the world. Work recently exhibited includes paintings at the Pastel Society (2001/2/4/5/6/7), the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (2003/5/6) and the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (2007) in London's Mall Gallery.
