Miya Ando

19th July 2012

Miya Ando creates the most incredible pieces of art and it’s no wonder with such a diverse background. Half-Japanese, half-Russian – the Brooklyn based artist “…was raised by sword smiths-turned Buddhist priests in a Buddhist temple in Japan and in the redwoods of California.” Interesting!

Hand-dyed  metals, painted steel, photographs and sculpture are all part of her collection and she is well known for her public art commissions that can be found in Brooklyn, San Francisco, London and Puerto Rico.
