biography
Raffaela Lan Pellegrini was born in Newton, Massachusetts, and raised and educated in Italy. She attended The Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, Italy, and earned a degree in painting and art history. She later furthered her studies in printmaking in a program at the International School "Il Bisonte." Raffaela Lan comes to the United States regularly, where she studied watercolor with the painting master Bernie Gerstner, who is a longtime member of the North Shore and Rockport Art Associations. She has held several private shows and had her work exhibited both in Italy and in the United States, including the Boston International Fine Art Show.
For the past nine years, Raffaela Lan taught composition drawing, oil painting, and watercolor to American students attending their study abroad program. This allows her to share with them her expertise and love for Italian art and culture. Throughout her career she has participated in many art competitions and received several national recognitions. Although she returns often to San Donato Val di Comino, a small mountain town where she grew up, she presently resides and works in Florence, Italy.
