Anna Galluzzi is a studio artist currently working out of the DFW metroplex who specializes in painting, fibers and photography. 

 

Originally from the Texas Hill Country, Galluzzi moved to Dallas, TX in 2013 and received her BA from The University of Texas at Dallas in 2017. She is now working towards her MFA in painting and drawing from Texas Woman’s University and is expected to graduate in 2021. While the media she uses ranges, the underlying themes of self discovery and emotional coping are present throughout her varying bodies of work. She is heavily inspired by literature, popular culture, and all things weird.
