Untitled (Village in Bourgogne) Drawing

Anastasia received a Master’s in Visual Arts from Strasbourg University in 2009 and then embarked on multiple life-changing adventures on sea, land and in-between. Traveling a lot and living in several countries around the world has meant that she is constantly searching for belonging in unfamiliar places, while inevitably remaining an outsider. Drawing has been her way to create pockets of intimacy and to trace her place in the world. Her work has been exhibited internationally, including at Bathurst Regional Art Gallery and MAY SPACE Gallery in Australia, Megan Dickinson Gallery in New Zealand, Tallinn Light Biennale in Estonia, Apollonia Art Exchanges in France, and more. Anastasia has been featured in multiple blogs and publications, including Articulate Magazine, Create! Magazine, Eat Sleep Draw Magazine and The Big Idea. In 2021 she was granted a Create NSW Arts and Cultural Funding Grant toward developing her most ambitious work: a site specific installation for Bathurst Regional Art Gallery. Anastasia is currently working on multiple exhibitions in Sydney and is a Paul Guest Prize 2022 finalist.
