KEIKO POGANY

Keiko Pogany is a mother and maker, born, bred, and based in Los Angeles, CA.

She comes from a long line of woman makers: growing up with a mother who sewed all of her dresses and quilted beautiful blankets; to her aunt in Brazil who ran a family uniform and leather goods business; to her grandmother who supported the family for over 65 years by hand crafting traditional Japanese dolls, so detailed and immaculate, it would often take a year to make just one.

Keiko graduated with a degree in Studio Art from UC Irvine, but it is this family tradition of sewing, mending, knitting and making that informs her artistry. In her work, she seeks to blend traditional craft with contemporary abstraction, color and shape.
