Artist's website

Born in Hyogo, Nomura graduated from Visual Arts College Osaka and studied photography in Los Angeles. Her photo book Deep South (1999) captures her roots of Okinawa and attracted much attention for its unique colours and rich emotionality. Since then, women and water have been the motifs in her overarching theme of ‘life’. Her work explores life’s infinite cycle beyond time and space and her pieces have been published in four photo books and shown in over 30 exhibitions. Nomura received the Newcomer’s Award from the Photographic Society of Japan in 1999 and New Photographer Prize at the 16th Higashikawa International Photography Festival in 2000. She is currently working on a new series, set in the mountainous Koshientsu region and its distinct culture. Nomura lives and works in Tokyo.
