Anela Ming-Yue Oh (she/her)  is a multidisciplinary artist based on the Big Island of Hawai’i. She holds a BFA in Studio Art from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts. She uses materials that have a life of their own such as clay, paper, and fiber to feed her studio practice and create environments full of hope. As a mixed race artist of Malaysian Chinese descent, her visual language draws from her heritage as a reminder that there are reservoirs of strength we can draw upon from those who have passed away to imagine and construct new futures. An integral part of that practice is being a kapa maker in kumu Roen Hufford’s kapa hui in Waimea, HI. She has been an Artist-in-Residence at Sonoma Ceramics, Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, Tiapapata Art Center in Sāmoa and a Teaching Artist-in-Residence at the Oxbow School. She was also a West Bay View Fellow at Dieu Donné Papermill and traveled to Malaysia as a SMFA at Tufts Traveling Fellow in 2023.
