  • DECLARING AMERICA: 1776 AND BEYOND • New York, New York
    June 15, 2026–January 10, 2027

    In 2014 I created a visual alphabet portfolio of small 6x6 mokuhanga woodblock prints called Secret Codewords of the NSA. The prints illustrate code words used by the NSA to identify various covert operations and information-gathering techniques, many leaked by Edward Snowden in 2013. I’m honored that these works were selected for an exhibition at the main branch of the NY Public Library called Declaring America: 1776 and Beyond. The exhibit stands in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and traces the central role of protest throughout American history. It includes historical documents as well as contemporary artworks that grapple with enduring questions tied to the nation’s democratic ideals.

  • MASTERCLASS: MOKUHANGA SUMMER INTENSIVE • Florence, MA
    July 21–25, 2026
    Zea Mays Printmaking Studio

    This workshop is designed for artists who already know the basics of mokuhanga and want individualized instruction to bring their skills to the next level. Annie will meet with you on Zoom before the workshop to discuss areas you wish to concentrate on or troubleshoot, and together you will develop a plan for your five days.

    Although instruction during the workshop is individualized, there will also be daily topics and demonstrations, and participants are encouraged to share and learn from each other as we move through the week and watch each other’s work develop. Mid week there will be a field trip to Smith College Museum of Art’s print study room to view mokuhanga prints from their collection, we will have a guest visit from longtime mokuhanga practitioner Lynita Shimizu, and there is also a possibility of visiting Annie’s nearby home studio.

    Class size limited to eight.

  • INTRODUCTION TO MOKUHANGA • Florence MA
    October 30–November 1, 2026
    Zea Mays Printmaking Studio

    Mokuhanga (literally “wood print”) is a term for the ancient Japanese technique of watercolor woodblock printing—an elegant, green, and low-tech process that works easily in a home studio and combines well with other media. This workshop will introduce all aspects of making a mokuhanga woodblock print: transferring images to wooden blocks, carving with Japanese tools, using the Kento registration system, and printing with brushes and a baren. We will also focus on a few of the printing techniques particular to mokuhanga, especially how to create a bokashi (color gradation). Suitable for beginners as well as students who have already learned mokuhanga and want to sharpen their skills. Note that students will need to purchase and bring their own carving tools.

    Class size limited to eight.
