Annelies Clarke

Annelies Clarke was born in Holland and trained first in Rotterdam and then at the Accademia di Belle Arti, Florence, Italy, where Annelies obtained the four-year Diploma in Painting, Etching, Anatomy and History of Art (with honours). Annelies Clarke has lived and worked in Brighton since 1980, and her enthusiastic, batteries-included approach to her work has won her a loyal following. Annelies joined the Fiveways Artists group on 1995, and her annual Open House exhibitions during the Brighton Festival are always packed out.

What the critics have said about Annelies Clarke:

"... outstanding show in the whole of Brighton" Uproar

"Watercolours and oils of such ravishing colours that the master of colour himself, John Singer Sargent, would no doubt be impressed... Clarke's portraits take one's breath away" West Sussex Gazette

"Annelies Clarke is one of the most popular, if least cutting-edge, artists of the Brighton Festival" The Guardian
