JON AUSTIN was born and raised in North Platte, NE. He moved to Omaha in 2012 after graduating from the University of Nebraska at Kearney to teach pottery at Millard North High School. He works predominantly in ceramics, exploring and expanding the possibilities of traditional pinch pottery techniques. Ancient sculptural forms from Japan and Europe, along with biomorphic shapes found in nature, serve as major influences on his work. Through the combination, alteration, and repetition of numerous hand-built forms, Austin creates sculptures that feel both familiar and otherworldly. His process emphasizes touch, patience, and discovery, allowing each piece to evolve as forms are joined together. By transforming simple pinch pots into complex structures, he investigates themes of growth, interconnectedness, and transformation. Austin hopes viewers will engage with the tactile qualities of his work and discover new relationships between natural forms, history, and contemporary ceramic sculpture.

BRENDAN BISHOP is a multidisciplinary artist working in ceramics, wood, and metal. He works in between studios in Nebraska and Costa Rica. Ceramics found him at age five and never let go, a connection that still shapes how he approaches every material today. His work asks a quiet but persistent question: What does a material remember? Through hand-built sculptural forms, Bishop captures evidence of force, compression, erosion, and arrested motion, holding the tension between resistance and change. His current body of work, Witness Marks, explores time as force through three threads: collapse, duration, and residue. Impact studies hold the instant of collision. Vertical totems suspend the moment between balance and collapse. Form studies trace what remains. Wood enters the work naturally, from Nebraska native species to tropical hardwoods sourced in Central America, each bringing its own grain, weight, and light. Every piece is shaped by hand as a singular, original work.

STEPHEN DINSMORE is a Nebraska-born artist whose paintings display the importance of representational art in expressing visual poetry. His work can be found in public and private collections both nationally and internationally. "When you get it right, a painting has something of the sublime. A vitality that is a marriage of color and light, mystery and joy, longing and beauty." Dinsmore paints from studios in Nebraska, Maine, and Florida. "For me, painting means being always on the lookout for an image that excites. The creamy light of late afternoon on the landscape; the abstract beauty of marks on the side of a train car; new snow that reshapes all it touches; an interior filled with color and reverie; the riveting beauty of a vase of flowers; a fly fisherman in shadow; a disregarded corner of town; a found image. I try to make a painting that has something of the magic and mystery of the thing; the alchemy; the thing that excites."

LISSA SCOTLAND is a painter with over 25 years of experience painting. Her work asks what makes an object beautiful, and what is the allure? Her journey for an answer has evolved with depth and playfulness. As a young woman growing up in Omaha, NE, Scotland painted as a way to deal with crippling anxiety. Today, she creates out of her Duluth, MN, studio. She finds solace in emotional mark-making, bold colors, and organic forms. Scotland chooses florals as a subject, as they are universally "pretty". Her work looks to counter that with character and relatability. She often thinks of her work as a "beautiful mess". Scotland's artwork has been shown in multiple galleries throughout the Midwest, as well as collected by several corporations. Scotland was a chosen artist for the 2023 and 2025 Nebraska Biennial, as well as the 64th Arrowhead Regional Biennial. When not painting, she is trying to keep up with her two young daughters and husband.

VICTORIA SHEN is an interdisciplinary artist with a focus on sound and performance based in San Francisco. Shen's practice is concerned with the materiality of sound and its relationship to the human body through a lens of disruption and experimentation. She creates and manipulates custom-built sculptures and extensions specific to her body to challenge conventional methods of sound production. She uses her body as both subject and instrument, using movement and tactility to provoke visceral, often confrontational encounters with sound. Her performances are deliberately physical, unpredictable, and ephemeral-rejecting polish in favor of raw immediacy. Through a discursive practice spanning sound, performance, installation, and sculpture, themes of spectacle, violence, control, and gender are interrogated. The intention is not to comfort or entertain, but to destabilize: to push systems, tools, and traditions until they reveal something unexpected.

MEL TINGLEY is an artist based in Omaha, NE. He received his BFA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 1975 with an emphasis on sculpture and drawing. He later went on to complete a BS in mathematics at the University of Nebraska Omaha in 1987. His approach to the arts has been influenced by both of these degrees. When asked, he will say that his fine arts education contributed to his success in mathematics because it taught him to see what is there and not what his mind imagines is there. He has never pursued a career as an artist but successfully worked as an actuarial analyst for many years with several local insurance companies. He continued to produce artwork in both the Hot Shops (2009) and home studio settings (2009 to the present) and began entering works for the Bemis Center Annual Benefit Art Auction beginning in 2010. He currently produces two-dimensional pieces using a soft wax-based colored pencil. The current drawings are vibrant and color-dense with an intentionally formal approach.
