Rita Briansky

[4][5] The year they arrived, the family moved to Ansonville in northern Ontario,[4][6] then Val d'Or, Quebec in 1939, and then to Montreal in 1941.

[4][7] Briansky has a wide range of work: paintings, drawings, watercolours, pastels and prints.

Her group shows have included the Second International Biennial Exhibition of Prints, Tokyo and Osaka, Japan (1960-1961) and the United Nations, N.Y. (1965).

In 1995, following travels in Poland to her birthplace and memorial sites, Briansky created the Kaddish Series, reflecting on the tragedy of the Holocaust.

She also illustrated an anthology of children's short stories for the Gage Publishing Company called Rubaboo 4.
