:bulletred: ABOUT ARTISTS OF COLOR-HOW TO PARTICIPATE

:bulletred: SPOTLIGHT ARTISTS AND NEWS ARCHIVE


Before I introduce the current feature artist, I want to announce that one of the Project's participants received a Daily Deviant suggested by me! Our first Project DD, "Adalah Sawahku" was given to photographer ~nooreva of Indonesia.



Congratulations Nooreva, and thank you so much ^PurpelBlur for giving the DD.

And, for the rest of you, as participants of the Project, I have promised to suggest you all for Daily Deviations, and I have suggested several. But, I cannot suggest too many at one time, I cannot suggest to various Gallery Directors and other dA staff who accepts suggestions, and I have to wait a while between suggestions before I can suggest again, so please be patient. Believe me, I was so very happy when we received our first one, and I know it will only be the first of many.

Let's continue with this week's feature, the Textile Artist, ~nyankorita

:iconnyankorita:


Nyankorita was born in Japan, and grew up there for the first 12 years. She also lived in the state of Oregon in the United States for 10 years, after which she returned to Japan.

Nyankorita is a textile artist and earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Fibers at the University of Oregon. She also enjoys ceramics and she created ceramic pieces continuously for three years. She has not practiced it since graduating from university, for a variety reasons, but is currently looking into joining a local ceramic circle. She also enjoys figure drawing, and photography. “I'm a complete amateur in both”, she explained (I disagree…when I visited her gallery, I really liked her drawings and photos J )..


Since Nyankorita is an artistic seamstress, her hands are her first tools; of course, she also relies on a sewing machines, and needles of any sort, including knitting needles. While attending school, she worked for two years at the university theater’s costume shop, and she has also worked in alterations.

She is a member of the following dA clubs:, ~TextilesAlliance, ~dAQuilters, *dAKnitters, *ArtisanCraft, ~KIMONO-LOVERS, ~TheCeramicsClan
