Ania Gilmore | Ania Art Studio
Born in Warsaw, Poland, Ania Gilmore received her BFA with honors in Graphic Design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She studied printmaking and book arts at the Rhode Island School of Design, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and at the Haystack Mountain School of Crafts in Maine. Her portfolio includes works on paper, artist books and mixed-media. Ania curated the “Book Art: The World of Limitless” and “Nothing Twice (Nic dwa razy)” exhibitions at ArtSpace Gallery in Maynard, MA, “Resonance: Books in Time” at the Rochester Public Library, Rochester NY, “Resonance: Books in Time II” at the Brickbottom Gallery, Somerville, MA and the “Correspondence 9th International Book Art Festival” in Poland.
She is an award winning artist and her works are in public and private collections in Australia, Hungry, Iraq, Japan, Poland, Romania, UK, and USA, and also are included in “1,000 Artists’ Books: Exploring the Book as Art” by Peter and Donna Thomas. Ania lives and works in Lexington, Massachusetts.
Agnes Martin once wrote “An Artist is the one who can fail and fail and still go on.” These powerful words reaffirmed my creative journey by inspiring me to realize that art is a process that when started can never be finished. While studying design and printmaking I discovered a great passion for book arts. In my work I explore the book itself, the boundaries between the form and the content. As an emigrant I am infused with inspiration resident in my roots and history. I am interested in the continuous growing dialogue of identity and multiculturalism, which is a central element in modern society. The source of my imagery, which explores the connection between chaos and order amongst themes, is both derived by chance and experimentation.
