Soojin Choi (b.1991) was born and raised in South Korea, and she has worked as an artist in the United States since 2010. She earned her BFA at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2015 with a double major in Craft/ Material Studies and Painting/ Printmaking. She continued her studies at Alfred University to pursue a MFA degree in ceramics in 2018. Her work transforms objects, figures and spaces into visual language by repeatedly layering flat and spatial surfaces.

She attempts to express the ambiguity of emotion through flat and spatial surfaces; subtle facial expression, gaze and body gesture; as well as color and brush expressions. Building the surfaces with clay allows her to seamlessly weave between dimensions and textures to articulate feelings of ambivalence.

Ruth Easterbrook was born in Redwood Valley, California growing up with the hills as her playground. She graduated from Syracuse University with a BFA in ceramics in 2007. In 2014 she began focusing on her career starting with a spring concentration class at Penland School of Craft (NC) and then spending extended time at Anderson Ranch Arts Center (CO) In 2019 Ruth earned her MFA in ceramics at Alfred University. Ruth aims for her pottery to be an active participant in the coming together of people, sharing, and the enjoyment of food. She designs her works with their primary functionality in mind using a range of techniques for each piece, from hand building and throwing on the wheel to mapping out her floral motifs with glazes to create surfaces with textures movement.
