Marie Nohara
- 1987 Born in Osaka, Japan
- 2011 B.F.A Kyoto City University of Arts, Kyoto
- 2012 Royal College of Art , London (Exchange student)
- 2013 M.F.A Kyoto City University of Arts, Kyoto
With an interest in the rather ‘ambiguous’ creative process of paintings, Nohara creates works by using self-made tools such as rulers and paper patterns. She has taken part in multiple workshops in various parts of Japan, and has also worked on collaborative works.
By interacting with others and incorporating this into her works, she explores new possibilities of paintings.
