Born in Berkeley California, Oami moved to New Zealand with her family in her teens. She studied painting and sculpture in high school and graduated from Canterbury University in Christchurch with a B.A. in Art History and Classical Studies.

We are 30% of the way towards our goal of having $5000 available in our Studio Relief Fund! Here’s a message from @caitlin_cary about how a studio at Artspace helped her grow as an artist. Here’s how you can help: To help artists now and in the future, Artspace has created the Studio Fund. The purpose of this fund is to help our studio artists cover their studio rent during times of financial strain. Access to studio space can be transformative to an artist’s practice and career. At Artspace, our open studio environment creates opportunities for artists to learn directly from other artists, engage with the public, interact with national and regional exhibiting and residency artists, and make lasting friendships that challenge and inspire their practice. To support artists in their careers, Artspace offers studio space at below market rates and covers the costs of utilities including water, electric, internet, and a building-wide security system. Your tax deductible donation to the Studio Fund will help build a safety net for artists facing financial hardships. Donations made to the fund will be available to artists on a first come first served basis and studio artists may access relief funds twice per calendar year. Your generous donation can be made at https://artspace.z2systems.com/donation.jsp?campaign=148& #artistrelief #supportartists #covidrelieffund #RaleighArtist #raleighnc #ncartists
