Printmaking
American painter Miyoko Ito was born in 1918 in Berkeley, California. Being born to Japanese parents, she resided in Japan for five years starting in 1923 but returned to California afterwards, growing up in the East Bay and later attending the University of California, Berkeley. Her studies at the institution were interrupted by her internment in 1942 following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. She later studied as a graduate student at Smith College and later transferred to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, never graduating from them but basing herself in the city from then onwards.
