Allison Lefcort has painted since early childhood. The Greenwich Village Art Gallery in New York City first represented her professionally when she was seventeen. At twenty-six, she is becoming widely collected and recognized for her own style of portrait painting. Allison has shown her work in fine galleries around the country, in places as diverse as SOHO, Maui, Kennebunkport, and Key West. Her portraits have hung side by side with such esteemed artist as Peter Max and Romero Britto. Her paintings have been purchased and shipped around the world to places like Monte Carlo, Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong, Tokyo, Bangkok, Luxembourg, Jerusalem, Paris and London. Allison was invited to paint a portrait of the First Lady of the United States, Hillary Rodham Clinton. Allison had the privilege of presenting this portrait to the First Lady, and it was then shipped to her at the White House. She was also invited to paint portraits of Their Royal Highness, the now late King Hussein of Jordan and Queen Noor. That same portrait of the late King Hussein was featured in an interview with Queen Noor conducted by Katie Couric on the Today show! Queen Noor mentioned to Katie that it was her favorite portrait of her late husband.
