Honored to be included in this juried exhibition opening January 20th, 2024
The American Museum of Ceramic Art (AMOCA) is delighted to announce Fahrenheit 2024, the revival of our juried exhibition. Launched in 2018, Fahrenheit 2018 received an overwhelming response and showcased over 80 artists’ best ceramic creations juried by Patti Warashina. This year, AMOCA features the talents of artists contributing to the contemporary ceramic arts community. We are honored that Kathy King, Director of the Ceramics Program at Harvard University, is the esteemed juror for this year’s exhibition.
Artists whose works were selected through the jurying process will be celebrated at the opening reception. This exhibition will provide an invaluable platform for showcasing a diverse range of work and fostering recognition within the ceramics community.

56th Annual Springs Invitational Art Show
I’m excited to be participating in this summer’s 56th Annual Springs Invitational Exhibition in Springs, NY, opening Friday July 28th, 5-8pm, curated by Karyn Mannix. This annual show has been bringing together the artist community on the east end of Long Island for decades — the above 1974 poster for the show was designed by none other than Lee Krasner, who for years lived down the street from Ashawagh Hall.
NOT EVEN HOME WILL BE WITH YOU FOREVER
I’m happy to share that my work is currently on view in Field Projects’ virtual exhibition, NOT EVEN HOME WILL BE WITH YOU FOREVER, accompanying their physical exhibition of the same name.
The show’s curatorial theme really speaks to me and resonates with the inspiration behind my painting, Hawk’s Nest, below. Check out the physical show in NYC and the online exhibition at fieldprojectsgallery.com

Stop Motion Animations for Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops →
It was an honor to be invited to make a series of animations to accompany Climate Emergency: Feedback Loops, a new film series that aims to raise awareness about this urgent issue. This animation focuses on atmospheric feedback loops and how they’re impacting our climate.
Launched earlier this year by Greta Thunberg and the Dalai Lama and narrated by Richard Gere, the series explains how fossil fuel emissions have been causing warming loops that are raising Earth’s temperature higher and higher. The films show how this phenomenon is at work in forests, permafrost, the atmosphere, and the albedo effect at Earth’s poles. I learned so much from this series — including reasons to be optimistic about solutions we must work towards — and hope others will too.
To watch the films and for more information please visit: https://feedbackloopsclimate.com
