About the artist
A native of London, England, Annie Hoffman now lives and works in Los Angeles, California.  Having previously taken all the undergraduate art courses she could find, she devoted herself full time to painting in 1995, when she spent a year studying at a Paris art academy that emphasized classical values.  On returning to Los Angeles, she studied privately over the next four years with Lance Richlin, an ‘old master' style figure painter, and then with Sharon Burkett-Kaiser, a well-known California Impressionist.  Ms. Hoffman subsequently gained teaching experience as an assistant to Linda Lopez at Santa Monica College, and then at Linton College, Cambridge (England).
Ms. Hoffman has participated in multiple group shows in California, Paris, and Cambridge, England, and has mounted successful solo exhibits in southern and central California, and in Cambridge.  She received awards in both 2002 and 2003 from the annual juried show for the West Valley Artists' Guild, in Los Angeles. Her work has been published in SAA, an English art magazine.
