Description

Join us Saturday morning for a virtual Artist Discussion with Akemi Maegawa, part of The Art Clinic Online's artist discussion series.

Akemi Maegawa is a Washington, DC based artist born, raised and worked in Japan. She holds an MFA in Ceramics from Cranbrook Academy of Art and BFA from the Corcoran Collage of Art and Design.

She works with ceramics and mixed media and her work often responds to unique perception of western civilization because of her background strongly rooted in Japanese culture and history. Her works quite often look deceptively simple and ironically ordinary.  However, she focuses on the beauty or drama through exploring those mundane objects to search and define a meaning of life.

Her works have been exhibited in solo exhibitions at University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Adah Rose Gallery in MD, University of Maryland Global Campus in MD, DCAC NANO Gallery in DC, Academy Art Museum in MD, Irvine Contemporary in DC, Glen Echo Stone Tower Gallery in MD, Brentwood Arts Exchange in MD, and New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Art Fair in FL. And group shows at Athenaeum in VA, Otis Street Arts Project in MD, Adah Rose Gallery in MD, Strathmore Mansion in MD, Joan Hisaoka Healing Arts Gallery in DC, Arizona State University Art Museum Ceramic Research Center in AZ, New Mexico State University in NM, the National Council on Education for the Ceramic Arts (NCECA) in MO, USC Pacific Asia Museum in CA, Cathouse FUNeral in NY, Caroll Square Gallery in DC, Workhouse Arts Center in VA and more.
