Kawabata also curated the group exhibition Material Slip (UHM Commons Gallery and the University of Wyoming Art Museum). She has received recognition from national and international publications including, Art in America, Modern Painters, New Yorker, Artweek, Aucklander, and NO Magazine. Their work is featured in the books 20\/20: Twenty Artists, Twenty Writers, One New Zealand Gallery (Sanderson Contemporary, Auckland, NZ), The Artists: 21 Practitioners in New Zealand Contemporary Art (Beatnik Publishing, Auckland, NZ) and PromptPress 1 (PromptPress, Iowa City).<\/p>\nEDUCATION<br \/>\nMFA &#8211;
