Nola Avienne
Nola Avienne is a Seattle-based artist inspired by anatomy, chemistry and earth science. Her work has developed through the investigation and negotiation of the tensions between art and science, chaos and order, humor and discomfort.
Nola has an MFA in fibers from the University of Washington and a BFA from Otis Art Institute of Parsons School of Design. She is a recipient of the 4Culture Individual Artist Project Grant and the Artist Trust GAP Grant. Her work is included in the Washington State Art Collection, King County Public Art Collection, City of Sammamish Arts Collection and the Seattle City Light Portable Works Collection.
