Naoko Morisawa’s (Seattle) artwork is made of hundreds of very small<br />

slices of natural/oil-dyed woodchips on board. The variety of wood grain<br />

is very beautiful and the pattern is never the same. The combination of<br />

natural grains creates interesting shadows and impressions. When seen<br />

from a distance, her artwork looks like a painting the details of the work<br />

slowly emerge when viewer comes closer. Bright, fun, and unusual subjects<br />

attract and inspire her to work in new directions. Mysterious creatures<br />

and Illusions are recurring themes in her work. Naoko has exhibited<br />

her art at Seattle <strong>Art</strong> Museum Gallery, <strong>Art</strong>Xchange gallery, Northwind <strong>Art</strong><br />
