Abra Ancliffe, founder and librarian of Personal Libraries Library, is currently assistant professor in Printmaking at the Pacific Northwest College of Art. She founded Personal Libraries Library, a subscription, lending library located in Portland, OR in 2009. She received her MFA in 2005 from Tyler School of Art at Temple University, and holds a BFA in printmaking from PNCA and a BA in English Literature from Lewis & Clark College. Ancliffe’s practice engages printmaking and drawing to explore the fixity & frailty of language alongside how printed knowledge is created, stored & accessed. In 2009, she started the Personal Libraries Library, a subscription-lending library in Portland, Oregon that recreates & reconsiders the personal libraries of notable artists, scientists, writers and thinkers. Her print-works and drawings have been exhibited nationally and internationally.
