(she/her) grew up in Colorado and has lived throughout the American West. She attended Rocky Mountain College of Art & Design where she studied 2D Animation. She works primarily with video, photography and animation. Her short animations have been in independent film and animation festivals in Colorado, the Bay Area and Amsterdam, including P.O.V Animation Festival, Filmhuis Cavia and the Titwrench Art & Music Festival. Espinoza creates surreal environments for her photography which are created from her concepts and imagination. She thoughtfully creates and thinks about every detail for her photoshoots. The act of creating the environment is just as important as taking the photos. Some of her inspiration spawns from masks, folklore, books, surrealism and films. She believes that a great story is key to intriguing the viewer and creating a successful piece of artwork.

(she/her) (b. 1993, Greensboro, NC) is a multidisciplinary artist working across ceramics, drawing, painting and animation.

Inspired by the childlike perception of endless wonder, her work lingers in the interplay of the natural world, folklore and the divine. Light pronounces itself as a consistent collaborator in her work as she pulls traditional carving practices and imagery from both her Korean and Jewish lineage. Most comfortable in the realm of ambiguity and the unidentified, she explores the possibilities of the collision of unnoticed miracle and consciousness that create the everyday moment.

Cory was raised in Denver, CO, received her BFA from School of the Art Institute of Chicago and currently lives and works in Nambe, NM.

(she/ze) At the core of my work is craft. I situate myself in textiles and soft sculpture, building worlds out of fabric- fully immersive installations that cover a space to scale. With these worlds, I share a part of how I reimagine the spaces that I’ve been through capturing what could be, yet isn't and never will be. There's an emphasis on yearning as well as nostalgia. Looking back on my rugs, I see the same themes and interests, yet the major difference is that more of my past work felt universal while my current work feels individual. Both hold an important place in my growth as an artist and I do see myself making more rugs, so I'm always happy to share one with the world.

(he/him) From robots that hold protests, extruders that birth populations and machines that are designed for the dead to operate, Fernando Orellana has collaborated with automation for over twenty years to create transmedia artwork. As a machine designer, a technologist and a user, Orellana has blurred the line between himself and the machine in the creative process. The imagery and narrative that Orellana explores spans a spectrum that includes giving agency to automata, embraces the generatively made, celebrates the wonder of absurdity and is most often driven by the universes of his subconscious mind.

He has exhibited at a variety of regional, national and international venues, most recently at the Toledo Museum of Art, the Speed Art Museum, the Spring Break Art Show and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.

(she/they) is eager and grateful for Union Hall's invitation to return to feature film work. Jackson is a multidisciplinary artist who initially began with performance art. This included but is not limited to film,singing, and dance. During Jackson's time in Seattle as a student at Cornish College of the Arts, there was a significant discovery that her practice shouldn’t be confined or to be put into a box of one medium. Since then Jackson has remained a limitless exploration of art practice. Jackson’s latest projects have been the portrayal of the role of Lillie campbell-Jackson in Pearl Cleage’s “The Nacirema Society.” Jackson was co curator for “The Ultimate Boon” featured in Union Hall's Rough Gems Program in 2023.

(she/her) is an artist from East Tennessee. She is inspired by the traditional handcraft techniques that she learned from her grandmother, like sewing, knitting, and smocking. Natalie takes various elements from those traditions, whether they are aesthetic qualities or specific processes, and translates them into other materials that aren't associated with those crafts. She creates highly textured surfaces, which, though orderly in one sense, contain enough variability to implicate the slow work of hands as opposed to machines. These multi-layered, dimensional surfaces resist a flattening or simplification of complex experiences; instead, they offer a space with physical depth for more complicated considerations.

(she/her) is an interdisciplinary artist from the Northwoods of Michigan. She holds a BFA in Sculpture from the University of Arkansas and an MFA in Sculpture and Post-Studio Practice from the University of Colorado Boulder. She has shown internationally and currently teaches in Littleton, Colorado. Combining new technologies and traditional sewing techniques, her work explores soft, ecological narratives and the relational threads of mythology.
