Congratulations to artist Stephanie H. Shih on her two-person exhibition with artist Paul Kremer ‘Lateral Hazard’ at the Myrtle Beach Art Museum.

The exhibition will be on view through October 18, 2026.

Stephanie H. Shih (b. 1986, Philadelphia, PA) renders everyday items as trompe l’oeil sculptures that reveal the tensions within American domestic life. Turning consumer goods—a microwave, a self-help book, many pantries’ worth of condiments—into intricately painted ceramic objects transforms each into a permanent artifact. Seen together, the works play with notions of permanence and obsolescence, memory and disillusionment.

Shih’s work has been exhibited at the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive (BAMPFA); Cantor Arts Center; Nasher Museum of Art; John Michael Kohler Art Center; Santa Barbara Museum of Art; American Museum of Ceramic Arts; Henry Art Gallery; Bowdoin College Museum of Art; among others, and is held in institutional collections across the United States. Among other accolades, Shih was awarded the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant in 2025 and the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship in 2023. Shih’s engagement with social issues extends beyond her craft; since 2017, she has raised nearly $1,000,000 for disenfranchised communities facing material instability and state violence.
