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]
Exhibitions
In 2003, Spence had her first solo exhibition in the United States at the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery in New York.[3] Since then, many of her works have been displayed at the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery, in both solo and group exhibitions.[4][5][6] Her paintings have been included in numerous group exhibitions as well, including at the Vero Beach Museum of Art, Mana Art Center,[7][8][9] Arnot Art Museum,[10] Roberson Museum of Arts & Sciences,[11] Chiostro del Bramante,[12][13] Musei Capitolini,[14][15][16][17] Ringling College of Art and Design,[18] Manhattanville College, St. Paul's Gallery,[19] Louis K.
