Drawing from her degrees in theatre, film, and fine arts photography, Anna Tomczak creates mixed-media images full of emotional texture and detail. Her work is about cultivating and curation as much as it is generative; she hunts for treasures with which to create still-life assemblages that investigate myth, botany, and human figures. Her richly colored images are usually created with large-format Polaroid transfers, an intense, meditative process that reveals meaning in layers, a methodology that she describes as stream-of-consciousness. The effect is work that is nostalgic, surreal, and emotionally charged. In addition to her work as a photographer, Tomczak teaches mixed media workshops at her home in Florida as well as throughout Europe.
