  • 2025 International Juried Exhibition

    The Center for Contemporary Art 2020 Burnt Mills Road, Bedminster, NJ, United States

In the work, I see a shared impulse to reimagine our material lives and explore new models for caregiving, resilience, and celebration. The artworks seem to ask how we might reshape our environments—not just physically but also socially and emotionally." -- Erin Woodbrey
