Alexandria Canchola designs, illustrates, and creates immersive large-scale installations that are inspired by narrative, color, letterforms, and filmmaking. Her personal approach to design stems from her desire to empower people and make a difference by crafting work that is engaging and meaningful. She has worked for publications, small businesses and non-profits in many roles working to solve problems creatively so ideas can come to life. Canchola is currently an Assistant Professor for the Graphic Design program at Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi eagerly working to assist her students in their quest for knowledge so they may fully understand the power they wield as designers in communicating ideas that change everything.

On the weekend you'll find Alexandria snuggling with her pugs Sushi and Kimchi, watching Criterion Collection films, thrifting, and sipping Topo Chico.

Jessie Burciaga is an artist working in installation, printmaking, sculpture, and assemblage. Born between the border towns of Brownsville, Texas, and Matamoros Tamaulipas, Mexico, his work reflects his strong and longstanding interest in socio-political issues along the U.S./ Mexico border. Burciaga's work shows vulnerability by accepting the painful truth and the contemporary reality of La Frontera. Rather than relying on pain as a focal point, Burciaga uses it as an anchor, tethering the realm of dreams, the subconscious, and the spiritual. His work is honest to the experiences of loss and grief, without discounting the hope for a better tomorrow. 

Burciaga received his BFA from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and his MFA from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He currently resides and works in Brownsville, Texas.
