Christa Mayrhofer was born in Haslach, Upper Aus­tria, in 1958. In 1996 she received her diplo­ma for her stud­ies at the Acad­e­my of Fine Arts, Vien­na in the mas­ter class of Gunter Damisch. Christa Mayrhofer has been show­ing her work in solo and group exhi­bi­tions in Aus­tria and abroad since 1994. Her works are rep­re­sent­ed in numer­ous pub­lic col­lec­tions. Crista Mayrhofer has a spe­cial rela­tion­ship with wood as a nat­ur­al mate­r­i­al. Her wood­cuts are unique even where indi­vid­ual motifs are rec­og­niz­able, because she uses print­ing blocks, which she cov­ers in places, over long peri­ods of time. Each work is the unique, some­times unpre­dictable result of an indi­vid­ual, mul­ti-lay­ered process, even for the artist, for which she uses only nat­ur­al mate­ri­als. The artist lives and works in Linz (Upper Austria).
