HOPE (Tonisha Hope McCorkle) is an award-winning transdisciplinary artist, performer, and educator whose canvas is not just a surface, but a portal for healing. She creates transformative and emotionally sensual works of art through painting, collage, movement, and sculpture. Weaving together motifs of memories, mental health, and shadow work, HOPE communicates the intricacies of divine femininity through the lens of self-portraiture, sacred feminine symbolism, and the female gaze.

Born in 1977, artist River Irons spent an isolated childhood in Clinton, Maryland until 1991 when her family joined a cult in Kansas. After escaping the cult in 2001, Irons returned to Maryland where she now works as a multidisciplinary artist, drawing on her early life to explore constructs of race and patriarchy in classical art, architecture, and triumphalist historical narratives. Irons has shown her visual works at notable institutions including Notre Dame University of Maryland, Goucher College, and The George Washington University.
