Tânia Graça (Évora, 1987) is a visual artist currently completing a BA in Fine Arts and Multimedia at the University of Évora. In 2008, she undertook a portfolio development course at Lewisham Community College in London – an experience that paved the way for her admission to the University of the Arts London (UAL), where she completed a Foundation Diploma in Art and Design in 2010.
Her artistic practice centres on experimentation and research, with a particular emphasis on printmaking – a technique that enables her to explore connections with other disciplines such as painting, photography, and collage.
