Raphaella Beatrice Spence (born 1978) is a British photorealist and hyperrealist painter.
Spence was born in London, England in 1978. At the age of twelve, she moved to Rome, Italy, with her family, where she completed her studies at St. George's British International School in 1997.[1] Spence initially painted still lifes, but after being influenced by views of the Umbrian countryside, she turned towards a more photorealistic approach, painting landscapes.[1] Her current works consist of high resolution digital camera images combined with freehand cityscape paintings.[2]
