Anna Galluzzi is a queer, autistic, interdisciplinary studio artist and educator working out of the DFW metroplex who specializes in painting and fibers.
Originally from the Texas Hill Country, Galluzzi moved to Dallas, TX in 2013 and received their BA from The University of Texas at Dallas in 2017. In May of 2021 they earned their MFA in painting and drawing from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, TX. While the media they use ranges, the underlying themes of self discovery and emotional coping are present throughout their varying bodies of work. They are heavily inspired by popular culture, childhood whimsy and all things kitsch.
