2026 Events

Low-Stakes Book Club meets 1st and 3rd Fridays of the month from 5-6 pm.

We only read short things, and I post all of the readings online. Check out the group page for updates on new readings in case I forget to list them here.

"More Than A Touch, A Connection"

Ocean City Arts Center, 1735 Simpson Ave, Ocean City, NJ

Wednesday, July 1- July 29, 2026

Reception: Friday, July 10, 2026, 7-8:30pm

"More Than Touch, A Connection" was created to provide a meaningful and accessible art experience for individuals who are blind or have low vision while inviting all visitors to discover the richness of experiencing art through touch, sound, and imagination. Throughout the exhibition, you’ll encounter original tactile artworks, sculpture, textured paintings, fiber art, and three-dimensional work designed or selected to be explored with your hands. As you move through the gallery, notice the textures, contours, shapes, patterns, temperature, and other tactile qualities that reveal details often overlooked when we rely only on sight.

Learn more about the exhibit's accessibility-centered design and read the artist's statements and bios.

My ceramic wall sculpture, "Cliffs and Currents" is in the show along with work by over 30 other artists. Listen to the audio description for this piece.

Following its Ocean City premiere, the exhibition will travel to its partner venues, expanding access to tactile art experiences throughout southern New Jersey.
