The process of creating art began in earnest for Anastasija in 2008 upon the completion of a BA of Creative Industries at ECU South West Campus Bunbury. A Visual Arts Major and prize for Academic Excellence precipitated an ongoing journey of self-discovery, incorporating the investigation of her identity and culture and response to the natural environment.
Childhood was spent in rural and bush settings; as a consequence, her formative years were indelibly characterised by a strong connection to the natural environment: the bush became an explorative playground.
Anastasija’s work, often process-driven and underpinned with emotive intent, is a response to place or a desire to express particular concepts. Her ability to work through a range of media provides opportunities to explore these possibilities.
Having practised as a visual artist in the South West region of Western Australia, Anastasija has held a number of solo exhibitions and been awarded several prizes. Her work has also been included in numerous group exhibitions throughout Australia.
