  Lydia Allen  
  Lydia Allen grew up in Shanagarry and after school spent six
months working as a studio assistant at Kidogo Arts School in Western Australia. It was here that her interest began in figurative painting which she studied under Ian De Souza and portraiture under Joanna Robertson.

In 2001, Lydia was accepted to study classical drawing and
painting at the Charles Cecil Studio in Florence, Italy where she subsequently spent three years. Currently she is living in East Cork and working on various commissions, including a portrait for the 'Irish Painters Painting Irish Writers' collection at the Crawford Municipal Gallery, Cork.
