2006-07 Wind Challenge Artist
Nami Yamamoto earned a BFA from the Aichi Prefectural University of Fine Arts in Aichi, Japan, and an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art / Mount Royal Graduate School of Art. Her artistic process is governed chiefly by an empirical investigation of the surrounding world, and translating that information into an aesthetic experience that helps me to better understand this world. Yamamoto's studio serves as forum and laboratory to investigate these questions and propose answers that take the form of drawings and installations.
