Lead Pencil Studio

Annie Han and Daniel Mihalyo are a two-person artist collective in Seattle-based LEAD PENCIL STUDIO. Since 2002, they have worked together in the areas of installation art and sculpture. Their work ranges widely in mediums, materials, scales, and disciplines with a pervading interest in architectural space and the urban environment – often in relationship to the natural world. Their mediums include ceramics, photography, laser scanning, video, sculpture, drawing, publishing, and installation. Their work has been exhibited throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia – in over 15 solo museum exhibitions and 30 group shows. Past exhibition venues include the UT Austin Visual Art Center, Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art, MassArt Boston, Henry Art Museum, San Francisco MOMA, Boise Art Museum, Weatherspoon Art Museum, Portland Art Museum, Emily Carr Institute (BC), Exploratorium Museum, American Academy in Rome, Center on Contemporary Art, Aichi Triennial and Prague Quadrennial. 

They are recipients of the Founder’s Rome Prize, Architecture League of NY Emerging Voice, Contemporary NW Art Award, and the New York Prize from the Van Alen Institute. They were selected in 2019 as Visual Arts Fellows by Montalvo’s Lucas Artists Program.
