About the Artist:
Anna Goraczko is a mixed media artist, born in Miami, Florida, who lives and works in Miami, Florida. Goraczko received a BFA in Art in 2008 and an MFA in Visual Arts in 2020 from Florida International University. Using found objects, photography, and the human body, she employs cyanotypes to create vibrant blue images that intentionally distort or abstract their meaning. The images are ethereal, dreamlike, and open to interpretation. Themes of body positivity, family history, and connection provide a conceptual framework through which she engages with her subjects and the artistic process.
Selected solo exhibitions include "Anna Goraczko" (2023) at The Frank Gallery in Pembroke Pines, Florida. Selected group exhibitions include "Mama, G-Ma, and Nana" (2023) at Miami Beach Urban Studios in Miami Beach, Florida, "The BluPrnt Show" (2022/23) at Bridge Red Studios in North Miami, Florida and "Florida Biennial: Installations, Portraiture, Materiality, and Magic Realism" (2022) at Art and Culture Center in Hollywood, Florida. Goraczko was the recipient of the Hypatia-in-the-Woods Solo Artist Residency at Holly House in Shelton, Washington (2022) and she was the Artist-in-Residence at StoneTriggerPress Studio in Abiquiu, New Mexico (2022). Her work is in the permanent collection at Frost Art Museum in Miami, Florida.
