Anya Paintsil
Anya Paintsil is a Welsh and Ghanaian textile artist who lives and works in London. Paintsil draws on her heritage to create her textile pieces. She uses rug-hooking, passed down by generations of Welsh women in her family. She also employs Black and Afro hairstyling techniques, often integrating real and synthetic hair into the works themselves. She aims to elevate craft-based practices associated with women of colour and working-class women.
