Hannah Keats (MFA ‘25)received anEnvironmental Art Activism Grant from the Puffin Foundation in support of showcasing her body of work in “Touch Tank”!
Keats’ Touch Tank solo exhibition opens in March 2026 at The Studios of Key West.
“Hannah Keats presents a new series of abstract sculptural paintings inspired by the tactile wonder of aquarium touch tanks, snorkeling excursions in the Florida Keys, and coral specimens collected along Florida’s coastline. These immersive works merge natural materials like shark teeth, shells, sand, and stingray barbs with digitally fabricated surfaces, creating layered compositions that pulse with the rhythms and textures of marine ecosystems.”
