Coastlines: At the Water's Edge hardcover book /
I’m excited to announce that one of my Antarctica images has been published in the hardcover book, Coastlines: At the Water’s Edge by Emily Nathan, published by Ten Speed Press and released this week.
This is my first book publication so I’m absolutely honored to be a part of this project. I received an advance copy of the book earlier this month and was pleasantly surprised to see how beautiful and stunning the book turned out. It’s been wonderful to see my image in print and to share my work with a broader audience.
Coastlines is a love letter to the sea and the planet that’s been years in the making, and we hope it will inspire you to take small and large steps to protect our planet.

Westbeth /
A New Chapter for Reuben Hernandez Studios
I'm so excited and honored to be a resident of Westbeth Artists Housing! It feels like I've come full circle because I lived in the West Village when I first moved to NYC 11 years ago, and my last studio in Brooklyn was also coincidentally on West Street.
Westbeth has a rich history as the former Bell Labs building, and residents have included Diane Arbus, Vin Diesel, Robert De Niro Sr., and Bob Gruen (John Lennon's photographer). Keith Haring had his first solo show at Westbeth in 1981.
Westbeth is also home to the Martha Graham Dance Company, the oldest continually performing dance company in the world and The New School for Drama.
Last week, the day before moving in, Reuben Hernandez Studios celebrated its 12th year.
In other news I finally got a farm table! Time to make something...
