Fumiko Nagano was born in 1974 in Mie Prefecture, Japan. After graduating from the University of Fine Arts, she worked as an art producer for a television station while making and publishing works in a glass workshop, and in 2006, she held a solo exhibition at Rimuarto (now POST). For several years thereafter, child-rearing and workshop design activities went hand in hand, and after completing her own studio in 2011, she began holding solo exhibitions around the world.Fumiko Nagano exhibits a wide variety of glass art, using techniques such as kiln work and glass blowing.

Fumiko Nagano, a well-known glass artist at Terada Bijutsu, creates her works in her beautiful home and studio in Nagoya. She has been known for her artful glassware such as glasses and plates, which have their original purpose, but in recent years, she has also been creating excellent glass objects, such as wall hangings, that have no purpose. For Fumiko Nagano, who has a sincere interest in glass and wishes to express the characteristics and beauty of glass from all angles through her filter, it may be irrelevant whether glass has a use or not. Fumiko Nagano takes the cold and hard feeling glass material and gives it the warmth of a natural object, turning it into something close to people's hearts. “You can feel happiness just by having one in the room,” and that's what she wants to do with such an appliance.

Fumiko Nagano looks at the world made up of both human creation and the laws of the universe and nature with great emotion. Fumiko Nagano has felt the wonder and beauty of the world around her since childhood, and her works that are full of surprises and have the power to lead beholders away from their everyday lives into another world, but more than anyone else, she herself transcends time and space through making glass works and is thrilled by what she feels and sees there, even unexpected results, then she feels alive.
