MOCA Week #7

Jacqueline Okuhara was born in Ontario, Canada. She writes, "I have a practical and academic background in art, having studied art history and a variety of material arts in Europe and Canada. I specialized in textile design and jewelry-making and taught these subjects in college for some years until deciding to make a life change and concentrate on my own artistic pursuits which included teaching myself how to use a computer graphics program.

"My work is done directly on computer without scanning in images. I 'draw and paint' using filters, masks, fills, etc.... I enjoy the immediacy of computer imaging and see it as a tool or vehicle in my repertoire of self-expression. My work is... based on my life experiences and my personal preferences. I find that the computer, as a means for image making, has endless possibilities and that I am just beginning on my own personal journey."


I really like Jacqueline Okuhara's artwork. It's very unusual and seems abstract to me.  I like how the artist did women's hair. Very creative

  1. She uses the computer as an illustrating tool... rather than generative or process oriented approach.
