ANNE
SHINGLETON
Anne
was born in 1953 Salisbury. Most of her childhood was spent on a
Dorset farm surrounded by animals. After having earned a degree in
Zoology at Swansea Unversity she moved
to Florence in 1980 to study classical art techniques under the renowned
teacher Nerina
Simi ( 1890 - 1987 ). Nerina was a respected colleague of Annigoni
and trained and prepared any student wishing to apply for
an apprenticeship with him.
She has lived and worked in Tuscany since 1982 and had her first one
man exhibition in King Street in London in 1983.
Anne
has participated in numerous group exhibitions in Italy, the UK and
the USA including the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, the Society
of Wildlife Artists and the Pastel Society and has had seven one-man
exhibitions in these same countries.
