Happy to be part of the Brooklyn Ceramic Arts Tour this year! If you're in the city this weekend, check out the tour which will feature 375+ artists and over 25 ceramic shows and events taking place in studios, galleries, and businesses around the borough from May 19 - 21. I'll have new sculpture showing as part of a group exhibition at Choplet Ceramic Studio in Williamsburg!

Thank you to everyone who visited the Disappearer exhibition and for all of the kind messages that were sent my way! The exhibition will be extended through August 31st, since some of the promo postcards did not reach their intended recipients, and I am still in the process of contacting friends to let them know about the show. If you are stopping by and would like to see the exhibit, it is at www.disappearer.org until end of August (it will be viewable as an archive after August, since I'm thinking of keeping the domain name for future projects)!
Spring 2021
5.31.21
My virtual exhibition, Disappearer, opens today, May 31st, at 7pm EST! Thank you to all who were supportive of this project from the beginning and throughout the past year, and to anyone who is stopping by to check out the show. Please visit the exhibit at www.disappearer.org!

Hello! There is a virtual ceramic sculpture exhibition coming up on May 31st, 2021. The exhibit (my first solo show) was originally planned to be shown at the New York Public Library St. George, but has been moved online since the Library is not yet open for events. Please check back here at the end of May if you'd like to see the show - the link to the exhibit will be posted here until it closes in August - or join my mailing list, and I'll send you a virtual postcard with a link when the show opens. The exhibit is based on the endangered animals of New York State with a special focus on the endangered animals of Staten Island, and is made possible (in part) by a DCA Premier Grant from Staten Island Arts with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs. There will be ceramic animals, and a zine!
