On Thursday, October 5th at 5:30pm, printmaker Anđela Rončević will offer an artist talk that delves into printmaking practices and the importance of maintaining a low-toxic approach not only for artists, but for those who are looking for alternative ways to think of art spaces and studios.

Anđela Rončević was born in 1994 in Zadar, on the Adriatic coast of Croatia. She is a printmaker, illustrator and art teacher, currently residing among the Swiss Alps. At the age of 17, Anđela received a full scholarship for the United World College of the Adriatic (Duino, Italy). She later graduated from the College of the Atlantic (Bar Harbor, Maine, USA) with the bachelors in Human Ecology. She was always most interested in visual arts, theatre and ecology. Currently she works as the printmaking technician at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts, where she is the first printmaker in Switzerland to introduce the low-toxic intaglio printmaking methods in such a large workshop. Anđela participated in solo and group exhibitions  in Croatia, Serbia, Switzerland, Spain, Italy, and France. She was an artist - in - residence at the Alfonso Crujeras electro-etching workshop in Gran Canaria, as well as in Tidaholm, Sweden, and Zea Mays Printmaking Studio in the USA. Her wish is to continue learning about the ways we can create art and build art spaces in the low - toxic and more sustainable ways. Anđela loves learning languages, swimming, late summer days, and fresh figs.
