From a young age, Anna-Maria Bribiesca’s artist parents, influenced her passion for visual arts.
Being of Mexican-NZ ancestry she is drawn to multiple disciplines. “I appreciate all the arts. I experiment with multiple forms of art – moving image, jewellery, sculpture, textile, painting, print and photography. It is lifelong learning for me that never ceases, it is intrinsic and I have to make art”.
Anna-Maria teaches art, has a BVA and a MEd Honours Conversaciones con mi sangre from the UoA. This thesis’ discourse examines her perception on art passed on from her rich and diverse heritages.
Anna-Maria exhibits solo and group shows annually and curates art exhibitions. She supplies Pollok Gallery, Art Industry and Arohart Gallery.
After having spent time in Mexico, Anna-Maria is even more inspired to create art works. “I can’t help but reference my cultures, the colour and diversity of the Mexico. There, it is everywhere you look. Mexico es arte – el arte es Mexico. Viva Mexico!”
