The works of Wayne Miyamoto often combine the printmaking techniques of intaglio and monoprint with drawing, painting, collage and most recently digital imagery. The resulting series of “figurative” works explore the infinite quality of line and its ability to express energy and motion. Of the work process Miyamoto comments, The images explore relationships of anthropomorphic, botanical, zoological, mythological, and geological references. Time and change lay the groundwork for the visual image. In this exhibition Miyamoto will exhibit recent works including for the first time his 88 Kami (for Osamu), series of 88 drawings and mixed media works.

Wayne Miyamoto received his Bachelor of Fine Arts and his Master of Fine Arts from the University of Hawai‘i, Manoa. Since 1981, he has held the position of Professor of printmaking at the University of Hawai‘i, Hilo. He currently serves as the Art Department Chair. His prints have been exhibited extensively nationally and internationally.
