Later that year, her debut exposition “Anette’s drems” won an award from the Weir Organization and was exhibited at “The Humble Art” in Venice. Her second exposition, “Rear thoughts”, has been presented with a solo show at the V&A Museum of Deviant Art of London.

Her work was commissioned and showcased as part of the “One Gallery, One Night: Emerging Women in Art” exhibition, sponsored by Hydra Art Co.

She is a founding member of the group “The realists”, which exhibited work in unlikely places, such as Soho and Trafalgar Square.

Priori’s research is now focused on the representation of memory and truth and on the documentary and narrative aspects of painting. The artist often proceeds by doing research, aimed at reconstructing the story of unknown people met by chance.

She currently lives between Naples and New York, where she works as a Art teacher.
