Michele Oka Doner
Michele Oka Doner (born 1945, Miami Beach, Florida) is an American artist and author. "The breadth of her artistic production encompasses sculpture, public art, furniture, jewelry and functional objects…Oka Doner is perhaps best known for her numerous public art commissions, including…''Radiant Site'', at New York's Herald Square Subway and ''A Walk on the Beach'' at the Miami International Airport… Whether large-scale architectural projects, or intimately scaled objects… Oka Doner's work is fueled by a lifelong study and appreciation of the natural world, from which she derives her formal vocabulary…Ultimately, it is her curiosity and wonder that provide the driving force behind her work…Her art is the rich by-product of an inquisitive mind…Through her devotion, Oka Doner has learned to speak the language of the cosmos, acting as a sculptural interpreter of nature's vast lexicon."〔Ramljak, Suzanne. ''Michele Oka Doner: Natural Seduction.'' Manchester: Vermont, 2003. Book jacket, 17,〕 "Beyond its strength and beauty, Oka Doner's work defies categorization, blurring boundaries between art, design and architecture."〔Bloemink, Barbara, "Nature's Scribe: The Art of Michele Oka Doner," press release issued by Bass Museum of Art, Miami Beach, Florida, 1998〕
== Early life ==
Born and raised in Miami Beach, Oka Doner is the granddaughter of painter Samuel Heller. Trained in fresco at the Odessa Drawing School, Heller immigrated to New York and continued his studies at the National Academy of Design. He painted ceilings at the Metropolitan Opera House on 34th Street, c. 1906. Dorothy Heller, his artist daughter, studied with Hans Hoffman, exhibited at the Whitney Museum Annual (1957), the Carnegie International (1959), the Stabile, Pointdexter, Tibor de Nagy and Betty Parsons galleries.〔"Dorothy Heller Archives, Smithsonian Institution, published by Archives of American Art"()〕 The artist's father, Kenneth Oka, was elected judge and mayor of Miami Beach during her youth (1945-1964).〔web.miamibeachfl.gov/WorkArea/downloadasset.aspx?id=34750〕
〔Mitchell Wolfson, Jr〕 The family lived a public and politically active life. In later years, Oka Doner co-authored, with Mitchell Wolfson Jr. ''Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden'',〔Oka Doner, Michele and Mitchell Wolfson Jr. ''Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden''. Berlin: Feierabend Verlag 1994, 2005. Oka Doner, Michele and Mitchell Wolfson Jr. ''Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden''. New York : Collins Design, 2009.〕 an intimate portrayal of Miami Beach from the 1920s to the 1960s using their families as prisms to reflect the times. Reviewed as classic of social history,〔Muschamp, Herbert. "Eden Rocks," ''The New York Times Sunday Magazine'', October 8, 2005. 62-66.〕〔Muschamp, Herbert. ''Hearts of the City: The Selected Writings of Herbert Muschamp'', New York: Knopf, 2009. 786-788.〕 with material that was part of the public record of its time, it was used as a textbook in Human Geography at George Washington University in 2008.
As a child in Miami Beach, Oka Doner absorbed the natural world around her. "Miami Beach is primal in my work. It was a place that fascinated and nurtured me, with the forces of nature, the dramatic thunderstorms, the extraordinary light.〔Gollin, Andrea. "People Who Make the Place. Michele Oka Doner." Interview. ''ePropaganda'', Wolfsonian-FIU Museum e-publication, June, 2011:2. http://www.enflyer.com/app/file_root/3116/EnFlyers/103274.html#2〕 In 1957, age 12, Oka Doner, fully engaged by science and the processes of the natural world, began a year-long independent project studying the International Geophysical Year (IGY). She assembled a book of drawings, writings and collages that become a template for projects realized in later years.〔Wolfson, Mitchell. "The Spinal Chord." ''Miami Beach: Blueprint of an Eden''.
