Joey Korein is an artist and teacher living and working in Brooklyn, NY. She earned a BFA in Printmaking and Drawing from Washington University in St. Louis and will begin pursuing a masters in Art Therapy at NYU Steinhardt in the Fall of 2015. Much of Joey's work involves used or discarded materials, especially second hand clothing, as she has always been drawn to these relics, suffused with human life and love. She continually searches for new ways to honor these objects and the lives they represent. Her most recent ongoing work, The Wabi Sabi Tee Project, is a participatory piece which utilizes secondhand jersey as the raw materials for a collection of individualized color-blocked t-shirts.

Rumi earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Ceramics and a Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Visual Art from the University of Washington, in Seattle. She explains her creative practice this way:

"Making art is a way for me to learn about life and to understand the world I live in. My creative process reflects how I live my life, and the product mirrors the accumulation of my cultures, history, thoughts, emotions, and everyday life experiences. It is a place where all aspects of my life come together and lose their boundaries.
I work toward becoming an artist who, like a sifter, refines this complicated world into its essential elements. In doing so, I hope to benefit each person who encounters my work.
Truthfulness is at the center of my art practice. From the place of honesty, vulnerability, and curiosity, I continue to explore the wonder of this Universe."

Melissa creates sculptures and installations that integrate light, shadow and movement into space-transforming artworks. Experimenting with different materials, she searches for new ways to understand the relationships between line, form, planes, and volume. 

Interaction, transformation and kinetics are at the core of her work, with the goal of pushing boundaries between the dimensions and between different disciplines. From her beginnings in jewelry design, Melissa's practice has evolved to include sculpture and installations that address the tension between structure and fluidity; systems and chaos; movement and transformation; perception and reality.

Over the past ten years Smith has actively contributed to her local arts community through artist-run centre directorial work and workshop facilitation, and has regularly exhibited her artwork locally and abroad.
