Yuh Okano, a Brooklyn NY-based textile artist for 20 years and in 2020, moved to beautiful Chesapeake bay area Chestertown MD, whose pieces are inspired by a deep fascination with the natural world. Yuh's pieces are invitingly tactile. They employ a range of color and texture that strives to be as subtle and finely detailed as the organic forms her works suggest. Their soft feel and gently flowing shapes evoke a sense of connection with plant life, flowers, and ocean creatures.
