Jeff “hb” Espinoza
Jeffrey Espinoza is a multidisciplinary artist from Long Island whose work explores themes of identity and human emotion. His passion for art sparked in elementary school and grew into a serious focus during high school, but was put on hold, as he believed a sustainable artistic career was out of reach. This hiatus ultimately confirmed that creating was an essential part of his identity, compelling him to return. With renewed purpose, he has spent the last four years building an artistic career. As a first-generation Latino who often felt caught between cultures, Jeffrey uses art as his essential language. This personal journey fuels his creative mission to craft meaningful art that cultivates empathy, love, and a deeper sense of community. Jeffrey views art not only as a career but as a practice in personal growth. He carries this spirit into his work as an educator dedicated to empowering others to find their own voice through visual storytelling.
