Kuehl, from Elkton, South Dakota, is a studio art major with an emphasis in sculpture.

He uses materials that include cast metals, wood, resin, foam, found objects and performance pieces.
Love, from Elk Point, South Dakota, is an art and elementary education major with a specialization in sculpture. Her work includes childlike characteristics within a sense of illusion of geometric shapes and organic forms. She used wood, tile, paper and foam to create an immersive installation within her current series.
Reiner, from Tripp, South Dakota, is a studio art major with a specialization in sculpture and a minor in art history. Her work includes sculptural depictions of human emotions and complex ideas of the human mind and soul. She draws on the symbolic quality of animal and human figures in her sculptures to portray themes of self-discovery and the influences of society in maturing. Reiner utilizes various techniques and materials to achieve this, including wood, metal and soft materials.
