Lilly Reeves

Lily Reeves’ sculptural work encourages emotional and physical well-being through a holistic lens of personal, societal, and environmental healing. She uses light, space, immersive installations, and audience-participatory performance as tools to address spiritual chasms within contemporary culture, working to spark wonder and openness in a world that is increasingly disenchanted. Her aesthetic language utilizes the uncanny and the supernatural. With her art practice, Reeves positions the audience as the performer, creating a space for viewers to undergo meaningful gestures that have an impactful, transformative effect on the psyche. These artistic rituals counteract the destructive practices that have wreaked havoc on the ecosystem, the individual and the collective consciousness.

Reeves earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from Alfred University and her Masters of Fine Arts at Arizona State University in Phoenix, AZ, where she graduated in April 2018. Reeves’ public work is in the permanent collections of The University of Montevallo, Alfred University, and Salem Art Works, as well as private collections around the world.

Rigo Flores

Rigo Flores drawings show us the political extremes of how bodies are subject to systemic violence by both cartels and government officials alike. His images are pictures of the vanished people and the body bags that conceal the atrocities of so many lives cut short by conscription to a drug war that was not of their own making. His work humanizes an otherwise inhuman situation by making reportage about “collateral damage” back into looking at the specificity of lives lived, peoples lost, and situations gone awry. The ethics of drawings, of returning the temporal investments of drawing to what many considered to be a ’disposable’ or ‘lesser’ medium is upset by Flores choice of subject matter, which could not be more timely and important on the national and world stage.

Rigoberto Jaimes Flores was born in the country of Mexico. He received his BFA at Arizona State University and is currently working on his MFA at the Rhode Island School of Design.

Samantha Lyn Aasen

Samantha Lyn Aasen makes work that regularly questions how female relationships and societal standards about sexuality function in culture at large. Toward this end, she uses her art practice as an exploration of how desire and repulsion are embedded in the experiences of girlhood and consumer culture. Her different series and personas demonstrate how the body is commodified, appropriated and distributed across a number of different media, only Aasen heightens these contradictions by pointing to the super imposition of fantasy and form.

Aasen has had exhibitions in Indiana, Arizona, Illinois, Nebraska, Maryland, and the UK. She holds a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Photography from Herron School of Art and Design at Indiana University and an MFA in Studio Art with an emphasis in Intermedia from Arizona State University. Recently she attended the Feminist Artist Conference Residency in Toronto, Canada and she currently teaches at Phoenix College along with being a long-time volunteer and supporter of Girls Rock! Phoenix.

Michelle Jane Lee

Michelle Jane Lee’s art is minimalist in form yet muscular in content. There is a complexity, density and dynamism of form that is intimately tied to personal and social issues. In Lee's latest series of systematic paintings and installations, highly personal letters written by the artist are translated into idiosyncratic grids of colored squares and patterns. Utilizing a color alphabet developed by the artist, allows narrative models of communication to be transformed into the abstract. Through this act Lee gives the viewer an emotive experience of color while also pointing to the very abstractness of language itself.

Lee spent her childhood in Seoul, Korea, lived and studied in Chicago and currently lives and works in Los Angeles, CA.
