The Artist
Anna-Louise graduated from the Royal College of Art in 2003 having received first class honours from Central Saint Martins. Regarded as a reportage artist, her work is generally painted on location in ink on paper. These studies are then used as reference material for larger oil paintings.
Her latest acclaimed work was a commission from Saudi Motorsport to design their poster for the recent Formula 1 STC Saudi Arabian Grand Prix 2024 in Jeddah, capturing the speed and spirit of modern racing.
The organisers of The Automobilia Collectors Expo in Monterey, California have since announced Anna-Louise Felstead as their Artist in Residence and official poster designer for their new event in 2024 where she’ll be exhibiting her work for the first time
Felstead’s artistic journey has taken her from the charming streets of Port Isaac, through the bustling avenues of New York City, and into the hearts of automotive enthusiasts around the globe. Her commissions include projects for the Ministry of Defence and captivating scenes from the world’s most prestigious events, like Pebble Beach, Monaco Grand Prix Historique and Le Mans.
Her work has been featured all over the world and she is a regular exhibitor at Salon Privé, showcasing her pieces at Chelsea & Blenheim Palace.
