About the artists
Anna Goraczko is a mixed media artist, who lives and works in Miami, FL. Goraczko received a BFA in Art in 2008 and an MFA in Visual Arts in 2020 from Florida International University. Using found objects and materials from her family’s archive, she employs cyanotypes to document a visual association between physical objects and the visual memory that might distort or abstract them. Goraczko is a recent recipient of the Summer 2022 Hypatia-in-the-Woods Solo Artist Residency at Holly House in Shelton, WA. She was awarded the Betty Laird Perry Purchase Award in 2007 and her work is in the permanent collection at Frost Art Museum, Miami, FL.
Moira Holohan is a New York-born artist that lives and works in Miami, FL. Holohan received an MFA at Hunter College, NY, and a BA at Bard College, NY. She has recently been awarded the South Florida Cultural Consortium grant with a group exhibition in 2023 at the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami. She was a recipient of the Miami Individual Artists (MIA) Stipend, which helped fund her project at the Cal Gras Art Residency in 2022. Holohan is represented by Emerson Dorsch Gallery in Miami and is resident artist at the Bakehouse Art Complex, Miami, FL since 2020.
Loni Johnson is a multi-disciplinary visual artist born and raised in Miami, FL. As an artist, educator, mother, and activist, Johnson understands that artists have a cyclical obligation to give back and nurture their communities. She creates healing spaces for Black women through movement and ritual and explores how ancestral and historical memory informs how, when, and where we enter and claim spaces. Johnson graduated in 2003 with a BFA from SUNY at Purchase College School of Art and Design, NY. Johnson is a Coordinator/Teaching Artist at Perez Art Museum Miami and Chairperson for the National Visual Arts Selection Panel for National YoungArts Foundation. She was the recipient of the Oolite Arts’ Social Justice Award in 2021 and received a Knight Champion Award in 2019.
Christina Pettersson was born in Stockholm, Sweden, and grew up in Miami, FL. Her large-scale drawings, videos, sculptural installations, and group performances focus on the history and environment of Florida. Local residencies and exhibitions in non-traditional spaces like Everglades National Park, Biscayne Nature Center, and The Deering Estate reflect her lifelong passion for her hometown and its complex ecosystems. She is the recipient of a Knight Grant, Ellies Creator Award, and Florida Cultural Consortium Fellowship, and is a Fulbright Scholar. She is the 2021-22 ARTSail artist in residence and is a resident artist at Bakehouse Art Complex, Miami, FL since 2018.
Jennifer Printz completed her MFA in 2001 from The University of Georgia, where she studied in Cortona, Italy, as a part of her degree. Her artwork has been exhibited widely across the US and abroad including recent exhibitions at Marshall University, Oolite Arts, and a large-scale installation of her work at the Skolnick Surgical Tower at the Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach. She has participated in regular residencies in the US and at international locations including 2022 residencies at the Merz Gallery in Sanquhar, Scotland, and the Stadt Künstlerhaus in Salzburg, Austria. Currently, Jennifer teaches at Florida International University and has been a resident artist at Bakehouse Art Complex, Miami, FL since 2019.
