Anne Graham Portraits

Anne is a portrait and figurative artist who returned to the Philadelphia area after living and working in England for over 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 oil and pastel.

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, and both Montgomery School and Villanova University in Pennsylvania.

In recent years Anne's extensive body of work has included more than 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 publicly exhibited includes paintings at the Pastel Society UK (2001/2/4/5/6/7/12), the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (2003/5/6), the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (2007) in London's Mall Gallery, the Pastel Society of America in the National Arts Club, New York (2012) and the Butler Institute of American Art, Ohio (2013).

Anne invites commissions from institutions and individuals worldwide and now also teaches painting and portraiture in the Philadelphia area where she runs classes in Portraiture, Figure, Still Life and Contemporary painting.

She returns regularly to the UK for existing and new clients and despite being a busy artist also finds time for private tuition.
