Janusz-Strzyż Anna
She graduated from the State Higher School of Visual Arts in Wrocław, Faculty of Painting, Printmaking and Sculpture, field of studies: printmaking.
I deal with printmaking, drawing, painting, illustration and artistic books. I attach great importance to workshop perfection. My favourite printmaking techniques are drypoint, etching and linocut. Drawing is very important to me; recently the artistic book has become a medium through which I feel comfortable expressing myself and telling stories. Since 1992 I have presented my works at 31 individual exhibitions and over 100 collective exhibitions at home and abroad.
