ANNE SHINGLETON
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
University, she moved to Florence in
1980 to study classical art techniques
under the renowned teacher Nerina Simi
(1890-1987). Since 1982 she has been
living in Tuscany between Florence and
Siena. Starting with her first one-woman
exhibition in Kings Street in London in
1983, her oils, drawings, pastels,
etchings and, more recently, bronze
sculptures (see her book, Twenty-Four
Bronzes) have found large and loyal
followings in Britain, France, Germany,
Italy, the Netherlands and North
America.
In the past twelve years her bronzes,
cast in Italy by two of Europe’s best
foundries, have had much acclaim in
Italian and German critical and collecting
circles. In 1997 she was elected a
member of the Royal British Society of
Sculptors. Recent corporate commissions
for classical life-size portraits in bronze
have attracted wide attention and praise,
but she also continues to paint,
perfecting her exceptional skills in
rendering animals and light, often in a
very Tuscan setting.
