I'm excited to be a part of a new exhibit at @roca_arts called Materializing: Contemporary Ceramic Sculpture. The opening is tomorrow, Saturday 17th, 1-4pm. Maybe I'll see you there?

Here are some of the pieces in the show and I'll share more tomorrow! Most are mixed media pieces from my Remnants series.

Join us this Saturday, October 17, 5 - 7 PM, for the opening reception of smallWORKS | Looking Out from Within, a juried biennial exhibition, on view October 17 - November 22, 2026.

smallWORKS returns to the Garrison Art Center galleries, inviting artists to consider artwork as a passageway — a frame through which we glimpse something beyond. Presented alongside INSCAPE / OUTSCAPE in the Balter Gallery, a curated exhibition drawn from The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation, this year's smallWORKS takes inspiration from that show's meditation on how environments shape our ways of seeing and being in the world.

Artworks reference artwork as a kind of window, open to both representational and abstract interpretations. Whether peering inward or outward, intimate or expansive, works are invited to explore how the plane of an artwork can become a threshold. Juror

Juror: Christina Kee, Co-curator with Mary Anne Costello at The William Louis-Dreyfus Foundation

Gallery hours: Tuesday - Sunday, 10 AM - 5 PM

smallWORKS showcases a diverse collection of 2D and 3D artwork, including photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, stoneware, and mixed media, with 44 works by 43 artists selected from several hundred submissions. The selected artists include: Jim Allen, Carla Aurich, Tom Bell-Games, Brandon Bravo, Jesse Brink, Jennifer Clapp, Freddie Jen Cohen, Mark Crawford, Margaret Day, Darlys Ewoldt, Luis Fonseca, Nancy Goldenberg, Bill Graziano, Mary Johnson, Yasemin Kackar-Demirel, Rachel Kangas, Carole P. Kunstadt, Eleanor Kwei, Karen Lacey, Holli Levy, Aileen Lian, Nancy Manter, Maria Pia Marrella, Dale McCarthy, Terry Murray, Kate Nelson, Laini Nemett, Chantelle Norton, Karen Parashkevov, Polly Perkins, Erin Perrazzelli, Geraldine Popko, Lisa Pressman, John Allen Ray, Jody Servon, Lisa Steffens, Susan Stillman, Janet Tholen, Kara Wilson, Amanda Wolf, Kathy Yacoe Skura, Amy Yoshitsu, Robert Zurer.
