Morean Center for Clay

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 8, from 5-9pm&nbsp; On View: August 8 – September 7
Morean Center for Clay 420 22nd St. South&nbsp;
Artist Statement&nbsp;
“My work examines my relationship with clay as a place of comfort and refuge, through the creation of contemporary ceramic objects. Drawing inspiration from historical ceramic forms, fabric, clouds, and organic matter, I create ambiguous forms that invite personal interpretation. My recent practice explores the tension between sculpture and function. Incorporating light, fiber, and wax, I transform sculptural forms into domestic objects. Delicate details embedded within otherwise functional pieces invite intentionality, encouraging users to slow down and engage with the present moment.&nbsp;
This exhibition invites viewers into a cozy landscape filled with ambient lighting, whimsical vessels, and playful arrangements. Titled Apricity, which means the warmth of the sun in winter, this exhibition examines how softness, comfort, and serenity can emerge from domestic and sculptural forms. “
About the Artist:
Dani Lewis is a contemporary multi-media artist who primarily works with clay. Growing up in Connecticut, she was raised in a creative family that encouraged her to explore art at a young age, and she was first introduced to ceramics in middle school. In 2024, Dani graduated with her BFA in ceramics from Arizona State University and recently completed a post-bac program at the University of Hartford. She has received multiple awards and scholarships and has exhibited work in group and juried exhibitions around the country. She has also attended workshops at the Arrowmont School of Arts and Crafts, was a 2025 summer resident at the Watershed Center for Ceramic Arts, and is a current Artist in Residence at the Morean Center for Clay in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Chinese Brush Painting is the foundation of all oriental brush arts. Painting in China is a way of life – and as such, it hails from the philosophies of Taoism and Confucianism. Nature and its grandeur is appreciated for its intangible spirituality.
In this beginner’s workshop, you will start by calming your spirit, thinking, and meditating about how you will paint the essence of your subject. Preparing yourself to paint, you will use “The Four Treasures”- brush, ink stick, ink stone, and rice paper- that have defined this art form for thousands of years.
You will find that Chinese Brush Painting is an enlightening practice in embracing change.
You will gain an overview of the history, philosophy, and aesthetic concepts, understand the proper selection, care, preparation, and use of traditional materials, and perform the basic skills and techniques for brush strokes.
Learn the basics of Chinese Brush Painting through hands-on instruction, complete compositions, handouts, and discussion. Mastery of the brush empowers artists of any medium.
Students will compose a bamboo that they learned during this workshop.
Note: Wear comfortable clothing. India ink is permanent, be careful so that you do not ruin your clothes.
What makes Chinese Brush Painting unique?
Hsieh-I and Po Mo style is the spontaneous style of Chinese Brush Painting, which means “to depict an idea.” Executed in a lively, simple, and speedy manner, one expresses the spirit and essence of a subject rather than its realistic detail. The artist is at one with the subject, and the painting is a medium for self-expression and self-discovery.

There's something rare about hearing a poet read their own work in a room built for wonder. For one evening, Imagine Museum's galleries become the backdrop for Norm Novitsky's words — a poet, filmmaker, and musician whose writing draws on love, family, and the people who move the world forward. His collection What's on my Mind pairs each poem with original illustrations by artist Emily Walet, created to accompany the verse. Come for the poetry; stay for the art that surrounds it.
