Naoko Morisawa

(Japanese | American)

Artist Naoko Morisawa creates elaborate and energetic abstract compositions using small slices of natural and oil-dyed wood. She notes, "By using wood mosaic I can show the life and energy. Mysterious creatures, people, illusions, waves, clouds, waterfalls, and traditional patterns are all recurring themes in my work." Morisawa was born in Tokyo, Japan and is now based in Northwestern Washington.
