Naoko Morisawa

Morisawa, born in Tokyo, lives in Seattle but has exhibited widely in Japan and the US, as well as at the recent Phnom Penh Art-Design Triennial in Cambodia. Her colorful woven-wood “mosaics” have attracted attention for their meticulous craftsmanship and intricate compositions, landing her numerous public art commissions; her work is in private collections in Washington State, Oregon, Connecticut, Ireland and Japan. She is inspired by nature, Kabuki and Noh theatre designs.
