| Why Did You Become An Artist |
Tomoe Nakamura was born in 1967 in Osaka Japan. She is a visual artist, photographer, and writer. Nakamura is currently living in Osaka, Japan. She just obtained BFA from the Academy of Art University, San Francisco USA on 2010. She has visited the U.S. continuously, since she was 12 years old. She interested painting, mixed media, collage, recycled art, travel photography, travel essay, and book arts. Her themes relate to natures, city scenes, travel, still life, and awareness of ecology.
Many of her family members were artists, teachers. Her mother was an English tutor teaching English, so she learned about different cultures and participated in home stay exchanges. So, she also developed to have an international and progressive mind, which has influenced her Western style of art, and directness of themes.
In 2000, Tomoe obtained a Summer Scholarship at the Academy of Art University where she began her studies in photography. She studied fine art, photography, book arts, painting, and mixed media at the Academy of Art University, College of Santa Fe, and San Francisco Art Institute. She likes close-up image of still life painting with oil and watercolor. While she like travel photography, she also like fine art photography that digitally collage elements and paint from it, and also shoot photos of reflection of building windows and call herself as gReflectionist.h From her interest of Book Art, and mail art, she has become interested in creating small-scale art as opposed to large style contemporary art works. She was influenced by environmental and conceptual artists like Cristo, Andy Goldsworthy, and Robert Smithson. Tomoe hopes to make audience aware of nature and peace. She hopes to create works of mixed media and sculpture with recycled materials and organic materials.
In 2006, her photographs were showed for White Salmon Art Walk, Along Jewett Boulevard at Roz Gallery, White Salmon, WA, USA. In 2009, post card size prints, as mail arts were showed in Indonesia for the International Mail Art Exhibition.
She now is called her unit name as gGaliciash, using her art partnerf name, Alejandro Galicia Chavez who is showing and selling artworks with her.
