Nova Mejía is a Los Angeles-based Mexican-American artist focused on printmaking and ceramics. Their work speaks on processes of grief, interconnection with the natural world, the cycle of life, indigeneity and liberation. They graduated from UC San Diego with a bachelor’s degree in Ethnic Studies in 2020 and quickly became involved in community organizing and art as a tool for healing, this continues to inspire their art practice and career path. Exploring many forms of printmaking as a student of Art Division and participating in a ceramic art residency in Oaxaca has propelled them into a thriving art community that they are excited to dive even deeper into. 

Melissa Huerta was born and raised in Los Angeles (in Koreatown). She joined Art Division two years ago and through the program, she fell in love with printmaking and the Art Division community. Lino block printing and mezzo-tint printing are her favorite type of print making techniques. She is happy to be amongst such passionate artists.

Glow moves through the aesthetics of Los Angeles with an Indigenous lens, weaving ancestral memory into printmaking, sculpture, and poetry. In the exhibition The Beauty of Bereavement extends this practice, holding grief as a sacred threshold. Up Zell, Glow’s primary project, is both an art form and a living archive—where candles, gatherings, and crafted vessels become expressions of culture and care.
