MEET OUR 2026 ARTISTS

Intel Lastierre is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, sculpture, installation, and photography. Born in the Philippines and based in Texas, her practice examines how colonial histories, particularly European colonialism and U.S. imperialism, continue to shape systems of power, inequality, migration, and everyday life in the Philippines and the United States. Drawing from historical archives, folklore, mythology, and predator-prey dynamics, Lastierre translates these histories and systems into visual and material forms. Her paintings function as counter-narratives to dominant histories, while her sculptures and installations use erosion, decay, and impermanence to challenge fixed ideas of history and authority.
Lastierre’s interdisciplinary background in architecture, engineering, photography, and art history informs her approach to storytelling, spatial relationships, and material exploration. In 2014, she co-founded House of Frida Gallery in Bacolod City, Philippines. Her work has been exhibited across the Philippines and the United States. She is a member of ICOSA Collective Gallery in Austin and serves on DORF Gallery’s Advisory Council. She was the inaugural Fellow in Professional Practice at DORF Gallery and is a recipient of the Spring 2025 Artist Leadership Fellowship from Mid-America Arts Alliance.
Lehuauakea is a Native Hawaiian (Kanaka ʻŌiwi) interdisciplinary artist and barkcloth-maker who works with ancestral organic materials in contemporary ways to highlight narratives of Indigenous environmental stewardship, an evolving Kanaka ʻŌiwi identity, and the teachings held in cultural mythologies and cosmologies. By building a personal relationship with traditional techniques and materiality, Lehuauakea breathes new life into pattern symbolism used for generations and preserves cultural memory rooted in place-based practices. Grounded by ancestral modality while advancing the medium to unconventional, innovative, and tactile forms, including hand-stitched mixed-media textiles, large-scale installation, and paintings on kapa, Lehuauakea builds on these cultural knowledge systems, ensuring the perpetuation of these modes of Indigenous storytelling.
Lehuauakea’s work has been shown internationally and is held in prominent collections around the globe, including the Smithsonian National Museum of the American Indian, US National Gallery of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Portland Art Museum, National Gallery of Victoria, Queensland Art Gallery of Modern Art, Forge Project, and Museum of International Folk Art, amongst others. The artist is currently based between Santa Fe (NM) and Pāpaʻikou (HI) after earning their Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting with a minor in Art + Ecology at Pacific Northwest College of Art.

Miguel Luciano uses painting to explore lyrical abstractions and involve the community through public artworks. In 2009, he exhibited A Place After I Die, a sculpture that invited the public to write their sins or traumatic experience on its surface in an effort to rid them of the experience through a cathartic act.
Miguel Luciano was born in the Dominican Republic in 1968 and has worked in New York City since 1994 and currently reside in Dripping Springs, TX. Luciano attended the National School of Fine Arts and Universidad Autónoma de Santo Domingo (UASD) from 1987-1990, and in 1990, was granted a Peace Corps scholarship to pursue studies in Fine Arts and Illustration at Altos de Chavón in the Dominican Republic. Later, Luciano received the Bludhorn Scholarship to pursue a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Illustration at the Parsons School of Design in New York City.
Since 1994, his work has been shown in multiple group exhibitions both nationally and internationally. Luciano has participated in the National Biennial at the Museum of Modern Art and the 5th Drawing Biennial organized by the Arawak Foundation at the Drawing Museum in Santo Domingo. He has exhibited at the Essex Art Center, Massachusetts, Oxiel Latin American Art and Fractal Lab in New Jersey.
Carlos Jesus Martinez Dominguez, known as FEEGZ, is a Dominican Puerto Rican interdisciplinary artist from Washington Heights, NYC, now based in ATX (repping Manor). His work conveys his anxiety and thrill regarding history: how that history manifests in the present, and its implications for the future. He has worked in printmaking since 2012, producing and publishing work at Coronado printstudio, and brings it into classrooms and workshops as a core part of his teaching. His work is held in collections including El Museo del Barrio, the Luciano Benetton collection and the Blanton Museum of Art, and was recently included in the catalog for Latin American Histories at MASP (São Paulo, 2026).

Also this fall, we’re excited to host the first iteration of an eight-week intensive group workshop. This initiative will offer foundational printmaking training geared specifically toward practicing artists. Under the instruction of master printmaker Pepe Coronado and guest artist, Sandra C. Férnandez, participants will gain hands-on technical experience in a variety of print mediums, including screenprint, relief and photo-etching, while also developing imagery informed by their personal histories, cultural references, and lived experiences. By teaching these foundational skills in a supportive and community-focused environment, the workshop nurtures new voices in printmaking and equips artists with the tools needed to participate in contemporary printmaking discourse.
Asimismo, este otoño nos complace organizar la primera edición de un taller grupal intensivo de ocho semanas. Esta iniciativa ofrecerá una formación fundamental en impresión dirigida específicamente a artistas practicantes. Bajo la guía del maestro impresor Pepe Coronado y de la artista invitada Sandra C. Fernández, los participantes adquirirán experiencia técnica práctica en diversas modalidades de impresión —como la serigrafía, el grabado en relieve y el fotograbado— al tiempo que desarrollan una obra visual inspirada en sus historias personales, referencias culturales y vivencias. Al impartir estas competencias básicas en un entorno de apoyo y orientado a la comunidad, el taller fomenta el surgimiento de nuevas voces en el ámbito del grabado y dota a los artistas de las herramientas necesarias para participar en el discurso contemporáneo de esta disciplina.

Sabine Fletcher is a multidisciplinary artist working primarily within the mediums of photography, ceramics and biomaterials. Sabine’s work documents personal facets of their life lived through the lens of romance and nostalgia, blurring the lines between a staged photograph and documentation. Their work with functional biomaterial sculpture looks at whether we can participate in a future where humanity grows their own production materials in conjunction with the slow giving pace of nature.
She has shown work throughout DFW with Sundance Square, 500X, Ro2, Plush and in Austin at Contra Common, Women & Their Work, and the DTAA Gallery for their Xoxo Downtown Fellowship.
Angeline Izquierdo (b.1989, Bayamón, Puerto Rico) is an artist based in Austin, Texas. Raised in the border town of El Paso, she studied Art & Design at Columbia College Chicago.

She was also selected as a development mentor and animation judge for SXSW (2024/2025). Her work draws from her Puerto Rican roots, multicultural experience, and the many places that have shaped her.
Paola Loya began her artistic practice at fifteen with photography, capturing candid moments and landscapes as a way of exploring memory, place, and personal experience. Over time, her practice has evolved into a multidisciplinary approach incorporating photography, collage, painting, and found materials. Loya combines her own photographs with magazine cuttings, recycled materials, watercolor, and acrylic to create layered works that transform everyday fragments into new narratives. Her process is rooted in experimentation, allowing materials, images, and textures to interact organically as she explores the relationship between movement, memory, and imagination.

Nicole Parker combines photography, mixed media, vintage imagery, and irreverent drawings to examine the emotional and psychological experiences of women shaped by Midwestern culture.

She earned her BFA from Wayne State University in Detroit and her MFA from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Parker currently serves as Exhibits Program Coordinator for the Austin Public Library in Texas.

Belén Victoria is a Coastal Bend native and self-taught linocut printmaker serving as conduit between thoughts of transformation, displacement, the elements, and paper. Her tactile relationship to the block is intimate, as she sketches her designs directly on the linoleum, trusting the final details to surface in the meditation of the carve. She then inks by brayer and prints on washi with a baren, typically with loose repetition and open-ended interpretation.
Forever fascinated by the human condition, the longtime Austin resident holds a BA in English with a sociology minor from The University of Texas and a humanities-focused MLA from St. Edward’s. Reverent yet playful, Belén continues to experiment, observe, and evolve through printmaking and the community it inspires.
