Keiko Hara

"Keiko Hara" offers a detailed exploration of the prolific artist's unwavering commitment to painting, and her unique form of Japanese woodblock printmaking. Separated from her earlier cultural surroundings in Japan, memory and longing became overarching themes. Rich with metaphorical imagery, her visual universe encompasses references to water, fire, skies, and verdant lands, all the while investigating the poetics of space. Hara taught at Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington for 21 years.
