Na Omi Judy Shintani

Artist Statement

Na Omi Judy Shintani is the Narrator of Culture and the unspoken compels her to create. She believes art leads us in a search for connections and identity. Shintani’s work depicts family stories, honors Japanese American history, showcases women’s issues, and often offers viewers ways to participate. She works with found objects, organic materials, video, words, and cultural clothing to create assemblages and installations.
