Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks is a 2021 exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum which says: "Through this new series of dramatic depictions of historic shipwrecks, American artist Alexis Rockman symbolizes the impact that the migration of goods, people, plants, and animals has had on our planet." Accessed 6/21
Alexis Rockman: Shipwrecks is a 2022 exhibit at the Princeton University Art Museum which says: "In this new body of work, the New York-based artist Alexis Rockman reenvisions shipwreck narratives to focus less on human drama than on the broad planetary implications of the forces behind them, including trade, migration, colonization, and globalization. The artist's vivid series of large canvases and intimate watercolors points to how an increasingly interconnected world has generated profound ecological change." Also see the website of the artist.

Jim Caldwell, Water Play: Nature's Abstracts from the Sky is a 2017 exhibit at the Peninsula Museum of Art which says: "Landscape painter Jim Caldwell usually has his feet planted firmly on the ground.

Katherine Bradford is a 2017 exhibit at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth which says: "Katherine Bradford is known for her vibrant palette, faux-naïf style, and eccentric compositions. Often built up over months and sometimes years, the surfaces of Bradford's paintings are textured, comprising multiple thin, semi-transparent coats of acrylic paint, with hints of pentimenti in the final compositions." Accessed 12/17
Joe Zucker: Scrolls is a 2017 exhibit at the Housatonic Museum of Art which says: "Zucker's Scrolls series reflects his involvement with the sea as well as his interest in the legends of pirates like Captain William Kidd and Blackbeard, who terrorized the high seas and sought refuge off the shores of Long Island and Connecticut. For over thirty years, Zucker has returned again and again to the imagery of frigates in full sail, cannon balls, yard arms and the leering grin of the Jolly Roger, creating new iterations of these familiar signs and symbols." - To read more after exhibit closes, go to "Past Exhibitions" section of museum website.
