Regional art publication Artdose Magazine has released its annual 10 Artists to Watch list for 2026, featuring several artists connected to the Peck School of the Arts. Among those highlighted are ceramics faculty member Michael Ware, current MFA sculpture candidate Geornica Daniels, and alumni Kaden Van De Loo (BFA 2020, Painting & Drawing) and Melissa Scherrer Paré (BFA 1999, Photography). 

Each selected artist contributes a unique perspective and body of work, from Ware’s abstract ceramic forms to Van De Loo’s atmospheric paintings, and shares insights into their creative process and current projects.
