Nolan Wright is a largely self taught fiber artist, born in Tucson, Arizona, who uses basketry techniques to make sculptural forms. He currently lives in South Carolina, but grew up in the desert southwest and was deeply impacted by the rugged landscapes there, and by his family’s collection of traditional and contemporary crafts, including the work of indigenous artisans from many parts of the world. Both threads played an important part in his developing aesthetic and continue to be reflected in the objects he creates. Nolan’s work has been included in numerous juried national and regional shows, including, most recently, CraftForms 2025 (Wayne Art Center, Wayne PA), Fiberart International 2025 (Brew House Arts, Pittsburgh PA), Basketry Now 2025 (Textile Center, Minneapolis MN), Art Evolved: Intertwined (fiber art exhibition traveling the country from 2023 - 2026, cosponsored by Studio Art Quilts Association and the National Basketry Association), and Art Fields Competition 2025 (Exhibition Award; Lake City SC).
