Annabeth Rosen is a visual artist and ceramicist who creates elaborate sculptures that are “volcanic, beastly, catastrophic, and unnervingly funny,” as described by writer and critic Nancy Princenthal.[fn]“Annabeth Rosen: Shape Shifter,” 2014, catalogue essay accompanying Annabeth Rosen exhibition at Ventana 244 gallery, New York City, published by Beam Contemporary and the University of California, Davis.[/fn]
