Informed by Fashion, Inspired by Nature

​

Fine artist Annette Alessi defines her job as an artist “to open the heart of another.” Her current oil paintings feature stunning landscapes and glimpses of flowers and animals that evoke a sense of wonder. 

 

Annette began her career as a fashion illustrator, and after starting her family, she discovered the fine arts and then pursued additional training, studying with Karl Kuerner, a protege of Andrew Wyeth. 

 

Her diverse body of work, which includes figure drawings, book illustrations and commissioned portraits, has exhibited widely throughout the Brandywine Valley and been featured in numerous published collections. Annette teaches private classes and has lead Paint Along programs through the Chester County Arts Association.
