Annette Alessi graduated from the Art Institute of Philadelphia in 1987 where she studied fashion illustration.  She worked as a Fashion Illustrator for a bridal designer/manufacturer shortly after graduation. Later she expanded her career into graphic design and art direction specializing in fashion, applying her illustration along the way. Finally realizing her love for drawing and painting, she created the series called "The History of Fashion" which encompasses a painting from various eras of fashion history starting with the year 1920. The first print in the series is called "Waiting to Dine". Pastels are the medium used for these pieces of history. Other works are portraits, tasteful nudes, victorian watercolor sketches and flowers.
