RENATA DAINA

Renata Daina is a mixed-media sculptor and weaver currently living and working in Los Angeles and Sydney where her multifaceted artistic practice draws from the earthly and otherworldly. She creates tactile abstractions utilizing various textile techniques. Raised in Sydney, Australia, Daina learned traditional Lithuanian textile crafts from her grandmother, and is a fifth-generation weaver. Growing up in a household of theatre artists, she learned production skills on and off-stage. This early behind-the-scenes experience proved valuable during the nearly ten years she made installations and objects for television, film, and fashion in Los Angeles. Prior to this professional experience she received a BFA with Honors Cum Laude from the University of Southern California, and studied Fashion & Textile Design at the University of Technology Sydney. She has exhibited work in Australia, Europe, and the United States. Residencies include Bundanon (2026) and Fiber Artist in Residence at Township10 (2022).
