Lisa Do is a figurative and narrative painter whose work draws from myths, folklore, and autobiographies. In a deeply introspective series, she weaves together mythology and personal loss to explore themes of grief, memory, and the meaning of “the end.”
Jackie Liu is a disabled Chinese American painter and storyteller whose work explores joy, playfulness, and gratitude as modes of resistance and healing. She transforms fleeting moments of everyday life into richly layered portraits to honor presence, memory, and connection in a fast-paced digital world.
Trinity Ace is an interdisciplinary artist interested in how the visual language of manipulation embedded within American children’s media and consumer culture shapes identity and desire. Through photography and installation, she explores how spaces of comfort and nostalgia can double as mechanisms of control, inviting viewers to reflect on their own memories and the power structures that shaped them.
Greg Medina-Kenyon’s mixed-media paintings and drawings use abstraction to pose questions of class, Christianity, gender, and violence. Working from the perspective of a poor person in a moneyed institution and a queer person in a heterosexual world, his work presents disfigured man-woman-gun-angel homunculi, monsters, and humans in hopes to make viewers re-examine the ‘everyday abstractions’ we commit to one another daily.
Bhumikorn “Bhu” Kongtaveelert is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher who creates immersive moving-image installations on soft, sometimes translucent surfaces, stretched taut across rigid frames. After uncovering thirty-six flood-damaged family photographs, he reimagines alternate relationships with water and the memory of disasters, transforming loss into a space for reflection.
