YUH OKANO – TEXTILES YUH

YUH OKANO [1991, Textiles]

Based in Chestertown, MD

Yuh Okano, a Brooklyn NY-based textile artist for 20 years and in 2020, moved to Chestertown, MD, whose pieces are inspired by a deep fascination with the natural world. By closer to nature, she achieves her creativity with the community in new location. Her work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art and is in its permanent collection.

Yuh’s pieces are invitingly tactile. They employ a range of color and texture that strives to be as subtle and finely detailed as the organic forms her works suggest. Their soft feel and gently flowing shapes evoke a sense of connection with plant life, flowers, and ocean creatures.
