Julia Lee is a visual artist from Portland, Maine, currently based in Hanover, NH. She graduated from Dartmouth College in 2024 with a B.A. double degree in studio art and psychology, and minor in music. Growing up, her grandma taught her crocheting, knitting, and sewing, which led her to immerse herself in textile crafts from a young age. Her early exposure to these creative practices, combined with experiences at her parent's sushi restaurant, shaped her into a versatile multimedia artist. Working primarily in clay, painting, printmaking, and textiles, Julia draws from memory, dreams, and intuition. Her practice centers on storytelling, weaving together personal experience, Korean American heritage, and the nostalgia of childhood. She is currently a Studio Art Intern at Dartmouth College and plans to relocate to Atlanta, Georgia after her internship to further her artistic exploration and apply to Master of Fine Arts programs. 

Mateu Planelles is a multidisciplinary artist from Salt Lake City. His work engages emptiness and vastness, inviting viewers into spaces where absence becomes active and meaning emerges through what is withheld. Mateu lives and works in Brooklyn.
