Renata Daina

Los Angeles, CA

Renata Daina is a Los Angeles based artist creating handwoven tapestry and sculpture. She mindfully sources natural fibers that are sustainably grown, spun and dyed. Traditional labor-intensive techniques and modern motifs form tactile abstractions of weaving, wrapping, knotting, stitching. Natural fibers move fluidly between surface textures and multi-dimensional structures delineating our longstanding entanglement in an increasingly fragile ecosystem.

Born in the United States, raised in Australia, she learned traditional Lithuanian crafts from her grandmother, and is a fifth generation weaver. She received a BFA from the University of Southern California, and studied Fashion & Textile Design at the University of Technology Sydney. Renata has shown work nationally and internationally.
