Making an exciting end to a great year, on Dec 30 Anne completed and installed her largest painting yet - a 6½' x 8½' commissioned Angel painting. Thanks to all of the collectors and galleries that have made 2009 such a successful year!

In support of Allegro Foundation... a Champion for Children with Disabilities, we will host a special benefit art show October 14-17 at 1523 Elizabeth Avenue in Charlotte. Inspired by Allegro’s children with disabilities, Anne Neilson has chosen to donate half of the show’s proceeds to benefit Allegro’s FREE weekly movement education programs for children with disabilities.
Exhibited will be Anne Neilson's popular Angel Series, as well as other new works from her recent travels abroad. Be sure to mark your calendars for our private reception Wednesday, October 14, 5:30-9:00pm, and watch for additional details coming soon!
The show will continue, open to the public, through October 17.

Wednesday, September 9, 2009 at 11:35AM This morning, the Eric and Erica show on 91.9 New Life featured a discussion on finding your calling, inspired by Anne's article in this month's Today's Charlotte Woman magazine. The hosts shared her story on the air and prompted callers to join in on the topic "What is God calling you to be?".
After getting a call from her husband that they were talking about her on the radio, Anne called in to the station and joined the conversation as well.
Here's an excerpt from co-host Erica Parkerson's blog:
The painter of angels
Anne Nielson is a painter of angels. She was already a wife and a mom, and an elementary school teacher making a significant impact on the world. But God had even more for this amazing woman - He put in her a burning desire to paint... angels. Now, the woman who once stood at her kitchen counter crying because she had no idea how to put her passion to paint into practice, has a work of art hanging in the Palace of Monaco.
What's God calling you to do? It's no accident that you are alive today - like Esther for such a time as this. What did He put on your heart to be? To do?

Thanks, Erica and Eric, for sharing the story and for prompting such a great discussion!

Sept 2009 "Today's Charlotte Woman", Feature on Anne Neilson
Wednesday, July 22, 2009 at 3:34PM Last month’s exhibition of “Angels In Our Midst” at Anne Irwin Fine Art in Atlanta was a huge success. Trinity Community Ministries, our charity partner for the event, will receive a $2500 donation (30% of the artist’s portion of proceeds) to aid in their support of Atlanta’s homeless. “In these trying times, I am all the more focused on using my God-given talent to give back” Neilson said.
