Hope and Faith McCorkle

D.C.-born, Hyattsville, Maryland-raised twin siblings Eleisha Faith and Tonisha Hope McCorkle (b. 1999) are an interdisciplinary artist collective based in Baltimore, MD. They hold BFAs in Studio Art from New York University and are alumni of the Visual and Performing Arts program at the Jim Henson School of Arts, Media, and Communications. Creating in tandem since childhood, the twins have developed a collaborative practice grounded in healing through grief, storytelling, ritual, and collective memory. Through monumental mixed-media scrolls, collage, film, and interactive installations, Hope & Faith construct expansive visual narratives that insist on home as an embodied knowing carried through memory, food, and shared ritual. Their work is marked by vibrant color fields, swirling skies, and fantastical landscapes where figures appear among suns, moons, and imagined worlds. Collard leaves, locs, soul food, and domestic motifs recur as cultural relics and symbols of nourishment, while references to Black ritual and familial memory anchor their dreamlike compositions. Recognized by BmoreArt, WJZ-TV, and Hyattsville Life & Times, and with work installed at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC, they have received grants from the Maryland State Arts Council, the Andy Warhol Foundation, and the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation. Across their practice, Hope & Faith transform galleries into spaces of remembrance, healing, and collective return.
