Lily Gray - Studio 218, www.lilygray.studio, @lilygraystudio
My work explores the complex relationship between the conflict and the beauty between the environment and humanity. This is investigated through the lens of my lived experience feeling stuck in between my Hong Kong Chinese and first-generation American identity, and the feelings of alienation that come with feeling like neither, other, and vanishing feelings of belonging. Clay is the perfect medium to explore these constantly shifting and shaping ideas that together create who I am as an artist.

Oil painter working in the realist tradition
Katie Twiss - Studio 223, www.ktwiss.com, @ktwisst_studio
My work combines fiber, drawing, and printmaking processes to investigate the complexity of emotional and physical connections, particularly within the context of comfort and trauma. I utilize images of home, landscape, thread, and the body to further examine these themes.
Emily Tanner-McLean - Studio 224, www.tannermclean.com, @tannermclean
