Allison Ksiazkiewicz is a Canadian-UK artist working in Cambridgeshire. Her practice is inspired by natural history, archaeology and landscape to explore the ways we connect to each other and the natural world.
While identifying as a printmaker, Ksiazkiewicz’s practice is project based. Her recently completed ceramic and drawing series, Cultured Canines, uses ancient Greek pottery techniques and designs to explore the history and mythology of twelve different dog breeds. Each piece is dedicated to a different breed.
New works in progress are shaped by an artist residency during August 2026 at the Bilpin International Ground for Creative Initiatives (BigCi), located on the edge of the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Greater Blue Mountains. Wetlands and hanging swamps are landscapes and ecologies that influence a new direction of print and drawing works.
Ksiazkiewicz has exhibited work in the UK and across Canada, including at the Royal Kennel Club Art Gallery (London), Museum of Classical Archaeology (Cambridge), Mall Galleries (London), Ashmolean Museum (Oxford), and Open Studio (Toronto). In 2025, she was awarded the ING Discerning Eye Midlands Regional Prize. Her work has been featured in Apollo Magazine, Ashmolean Magazine, and Cambridge Alumni Magazine.
