Miya Ando (born 1973)[2] is an American visual artist recognized for her paintings, sculptures, and installation artworks that address concepts of temporality, interdependence, and impermanence.

In her conceptually-driven paintings, drawings, and sculptures, Ando often uses imagery evoking ephemeral natural phenomena such as clouds, the seasons, tides, rain, or moonlight, to articulate fundamental realities of existence.

[11][16] In 2009, Against the Stream Buddhist Meditation Society commissioned Ando's piece, 8-Fold Path, which consists of a grid of four steel square canvases measuring 4 feet each.

[17] Also in 2009, Ando created Fiat Lux (Let There Be Light), a grid of 144 individual 5 × 5 inch steel canvasses for the meditation room in Brooklyn's St.John's Bread and Life Chapel.

[23][24] Ando has been a participant in the US State Department Art in Embassies Program, and created a memorial for the Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami for the Nippon Club of New York City.

[30] Ando spent part of her childhood in a Buddhist temple in Japan as well as on 25 acres of the Santa Cruz Mountains' redwood forest in rural coastal Northern California.
