Community Center Gallery Yoshi Nakagawa

The City of Auburn and the Auburn Arts Commission are pleased to present the work of Yoshi Nakagawa at the Community Center Gallery, on view July 2 – August 27, 2026.

“There is great beauty and simplicity in our everyday lives—the respect for working by hand, finding enlightenment in something very repetitive, a childhood memory that resolves the present moment. This is what catches my imagination and propels me towards printmaking. Day-to-day objects and occurrences become metaphors to share my appreciation and convey human experience. 

My attention to details, textures, and patterns of the natural world inspire me to create. My work is also influenced by Japanese textiles and experiences living in Mexico, Japan, and the Pacific Northwest. Specializing in printmaking since 1999, I use relief, intaglio, monotype, and mixed media, reveling in the methodical processes and acknowledging the gratification I feel when my work goes through the press.”
