ABout the Artist
Adena Griffith
Adena Griffith started her clay journey in the early 2000’s at Otterbein University while persuing a degree in Biology. Her path was lead down a different road and dove headfirst into a new career of a potter and figurative sculptor after taking all of the ceramic and art history classes. Many of those early classes and the iconography still influence her work today. While at Otterbein she had the privilege to work under many of the visiting artist of The Otterbein Ceramic Institute. These two week intensive classes helped solidify her path into her career. After graduating, she was the first to be apart of The Otterbein Artist In Residence. Following her residency she was hired by Mayco Colors, one of the leading glaze companies here in the US, as a Designer. Her time was spent creating work for publications, lesson plans for teachers, and working with the marketing team as an artist. During that time she would lead hand building workshops for local art teachers. This brought her to teach at The Columbus Cultural Art Center leading both hand building and throwing on the wheel classes for adult students. She now teaches 6 classes a week and is the ceramic studio manager to over 200 students.

Paper Cosmologies
Hiromi Mizugai Moneyhun’s Floating WorldsFrank Museum of ArtJanuary 8 – April 23, 2026Paper Cosmologies draws on Florida-based Japanese artist Hiromi Mizugai Moneyhun’s (水貝 宏美) Ukiyo and Emergence series, which turn single sheets of washi paper into universes that refuse a frame. Through kirie (切り絵)—the ancient and painstaking Japanese art of paper cutting—Moneyhun realizes complex and fantastical worlds where female figures inherit the elegance of bijin-ga (美人画) beauty, even as they emerge, entangle, and transform into animals, architecture, and landscapes. The diaphanous, yet commanding and playful paper forms ask: “What if our ideas of separation are an illusion?”
