Annie Parker

Annie Parker came to sculpture later in life. Of Italian origin, she was born in France, but moved to London in her early twenties where she first worked for the BBC as a production assistant for radio and TV.  Later she moved to film editing, working in the cutting room. After a break to raise young daughters, Annie resolved to fulfil a lifelong ambition and pursue a career in art. She trained at the City & Guilds of London Art School and then Heatherley School of Fine Art, where she acquired diplomas in both portrait painting and figurative sculpture. Sculpture is her passion, and her focus has been on carving stone. Her years of portrait painting have, however, left an abiding fascination with the human expression and this is reflected in her series of stone heads.

“The human face is an endless source of inspiration. It reflects the whole of humanity, and I have an on-going compulsion to recreate it in my stonework.”

Her stonework is varied, however, and she is currently in the process of creating a series of bird forms. Although most of her work is in stone, many of her sculptures are also cast in plaster, resin or bronze.

Annie’s work has been acquired by collectors in London, Paris, Brussels, Amsterdam, Austria, Chicago and Singapore.New Paragraph
