Annie Rickard Straus

Annie  is a printmaker and illustrator from and based in London. After completing her studies at Central St Martins and the Glasgow School of Art she began creating illustrations and lettering for a range of organisations and brands across the UK and beyond. She came back to printmaking in 2017 as an outlet for more abstract, colourful, and less commercial work.

​

She loves screen-printing for the possibility of quantity and scale, and is obsessed with colour and how each layer sits together, each informing the last and next. At the heart of her work is energy, colour, and balance. She loves to use paper cut outs and stencils in her printmaking, and likes to get into an analogue mindset when developing new pieces.

​

Annie prints with the East London Printmakers’ in Mile End, with whom she also exhibits. Through the collaborative yearly project ‘Boxset’ she has work in the permanent archives at the V&A. Annie joined Greenwich at the end of 2025.
