Maia Cruz Palileo (b. 1979, Chicago, IL) is a multi-disciplinary, Brooklyn-based artist. Migration and the permeable concept of home are constant themes in their paintings, installations, sculptures, and drawings. Influenced by familial oral histories about migrating to the US from the Philippines alongside the troubling colonial history between the two countries, Maia infuses these narratives using both memory and imagination. When stories and memories are subjected to time and constant retelling, the narratives become questionable, bordering the line between fact and fiction, while remaining cloaked in the convincingly familiar.

Maia is a recipient of the Nancy Graves Grant, Art Matters Grant, Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters & Sculptors Grant, Jerome Foundation Travel and Study Program Grant, Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artist Grant, NYFA Painting Fellowship, Joan Mitchell Foundation MFA Award and the Astraea Visual Arts Fund Award. Maia received an MFA in sculpture from Brooklyn College, City University of New York and BA in Studio Art at Mount Holyoke College, Massachusetts and has participated in residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, Maine, Lower East Side Print Shop, New York, Millay Colony, New York and the Joan Mitchell Center, New Orleans. They are a recipient of the 2022-23 Sharpe Walentas Studio Program in Brooklyn, NY.

Naomi Lisiki (b. 1997, Guadeloupe, French Caribbean) is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn. She received her B.F.A in Fine Arts from The Cooper Union in 2018 and her M.F.A in Painting and Printmaking from the Yale School of Art in 2020. Inspired by systems of nature, her work aims to express the inherent qualities of life that she felt language could not encapsulate. Working within abstraction, she channels her emotions to create expressive multi-disciplinary works that explore ideas around womanhood, spirituality and philosophy. Resembling cyanotypes or alternative printing processes, the colors, delicate and feminine shapes in her paintings may remind one of landscapes, bodies and repeated forms in nature. Like the birth of a star or the formation of seashells on ocean tides, her aim is to create paintings that feed into themselves and become their own natural phenomenon.

Jess Palermo (b. 1984, Henderson, NV) explores defining moments in time and their inevitable transience; painting places, figures, and objects, all a way to poke and prod at a dreamlike nostalgia of things lost but not gone. Duality and opposition are consistently referenced through layering and reframing the perspective of the painting surface, all in an effort to preserve things from the past moving towards their inevitable end. Jess Palermo Lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
