Written by Natalie Jauregui-Ortiz. A figure stands in a field, dressed in a scrambled assemblage of snakes. Twigs stick out, as the snakes cover nearly every part of the figure’s body, except for eyes and an orange hat with devilish horns that peek through an opening. The snakes have built a house around the body. […]
Written by Stephanie Eche. I first experienced Jenn Cacciola’s artwork via a Zoom screen during the fall of 2020. Having not seen many friends or family in person for seven months, I almost wept as she shared her inspiration for some of her works: her grandmother. My grandmother taught me how to sew. My grandmother […]
Written by Terra Keck. In a room somewhere sits the artist Natalie Jauregui-Ortiz. She draws down the shades to spaces inside (her apartment, her mind), and begins to delicately unwrap the edges of her memories.

Written by Anna Berghuis. Raymond Hwang’s new body of work conquers perceived memory, often elaborating on the cracks that exist within our imperfect recollections. Hwang questions how memory works in relation to family and why we remember certain moments so vividly. We take these memories as truth, bite-sized treasures from the vault in our head. […]
Written by Raymond Hwang. Encountering Anna Berghuis’s work feels like walking into a mirrored fun house, where not only your features are distorted but your emotional states as well. Colors are stretched, and forms are disjointed with the freedom and vigor you’d expect from a former athlete turned artist. I look at these works and […]

Rose: When did you start making art? Heather: I started making art regularly in my junior year of highschool. I transferred to a fantastic art magnet school that […]
