About the Artist |
![]() Therese Mc Allister is an Irish artist who studied at the National College of Art and Design, Dublin and Studio Simi ,Florence Italy On her arrival in Florence, she met Pietro Annigoni (renowned for his portraits of the British Royal Family) who encouraged her to enroll at the Studio of Nerina Simi. Here, under the tutelage of Signorina Simi, she studied the techniques of drawing and painting in the classical tradition.
Therese also made frequent visits to Pietro Annigoni's studio where he advised and encouraged her on her work.. Her many years of artistic education, has taken her from Dublin to Florence. The Simi system concentrated on precise drawing and observation and the accurate rendering of forms and space. Working mainly in oils, her darkly-glowing still-lifes are rich and vibrant in colour with a meticulous attention to detail. Life drawing was also an important part of the curriculum and as a result Mc Allister is a highly accomplished draughtswoman and a talented portraitist. . COLLECTIONS |
