HOUSTON, January 4, 2022 — Divine Spark artist Kana Harada provided a glimpse into her vibrant studio practice with an artist talk and demonstration showcasing the tools and techniques behind her intricate multimedia works. She was joined in conversation by moderator Bridget Bray, and the two explored how Harada finds inspiration for her art in the natural world, her use of unique materials and motifs, and how a sense of purpose has led to her recent work and exhibition at Asia Society Texas.
