Jannina Veit Teuten, born in
London in 1939, gained the National Diploma in Design at Twickenham
Art College (1960). She then moved to Florence, Italy (1970), and
studied painting and sculpture at the Accademia delle Belle Arte in
Florence (1971 to 1980). She is primarily a painter of portraits in
oils, but her first water colour exhibition, on request, was of Settignano (1980). Many more followed in England, France and
Italy. One of major importance was to commemorate the 80th
Anniversary of the battle of the Somme in Picardy and 30 views of
recent urban restoration in Amiens. Work for the Via Francigena
project began in 1993 - 23 exhibitions of paintings staged from
Canterbury to Rome. From 2002, Jannina has exhibited paintings
of interiors and portraits, in oils, in Tuscany, and has had repeat
showings of the Via Francigena Project in Italy. In 2006, she
was Commended at Ministerial level for her work to promote the
project. Work in progress: water colours and drawings of the
via Francigena south of Rome for a permanent exhibition due to be
launched in 2010.
