Nam is an artist and overall thalassophile (ocean lover) based on the Olympic Peninsula. For his day job, he works as a biologist, protecting our state’s marine life and ecosystems. As a naturalist, he initially started making his art as a means to collect specimens and record his catches. All of his pressings and prints are still of specimens he personally collects. Nam utilizes the traditional Japanese fish printing technique known as “gyotaku”(魚拓) translating to fish impression, which he has modified for his medium. He also customized his own algae pressing technique to create his algal herbarium species or kelp pressings. Nam was Washington Sea Grant’s featured local artist in 2022.
