Yoshi Nakagawa is a Tacoma-based visual artist, specializing in printmaking since 1999. She pulled her first print at the University of Puget Sound, and continued her craft in Seattle and Oaxaca, Mexico. Her artwork is influenced by patterns of the natural world and Japanese textiles, along with her experiences living in Japan, Oaxaca, and the Pacific Northwest. She has exhibited and taught workshops in the US, Mexico, Canada, Japan, South Africa and Honduras.

Yoshi’s work exhibits various printmaking techniques focused on flora, fauna and landscapes. “As artists and stewards of nature, we experience a simple life that nourishes, heals, and inspires us. We find beauty in patterns, repetition and harmony—and we return the deed by preserving, protecting and advocating for the wellness of the natural world.”

Meet the artist at a reception in the library on Monday, July 7 from 5 to 7 pm.
