Nome Edonna

Born: 1973, California

NoMe Edonna is a self-taught artist from California, working primarily in the fields of painting and drawing. Techniques and styles rooted in Dada/Surrealism, Art Nouveau, Symbolism and "˜Graffiti' Art, are visually prevalent, yet re-contextualized addressing contemporary issues. Through regular use of recycled/found objects, as well as traditional materials, NoMe has created a unique and eclectic body of work that speaks to the viewer, however subtly or overtly, about our current place in history and the inherent challenge and mystery of the human experience.
NoMe's work has been exhibited and collected internationally, from street to museum and has been featured in numerous print and web publications. He's held artist residencies at San Francisco's RECOLOGY as well as Ruth Asawa School Of The Arts high school. He lives and works in San Francisco.
