Esther Marie Hall, b. 1990, is a Filipino American multidisciplinary artist with a primary focus on fiber and textile work, merging these mediums with painting and sculpture. Hall’s work contemplates how information is transmitted and distorted across time, space, and context, drawing inspiration from modern day memes, historical quilting iconography, and quantum theory. The repetitive labor in Hall’s work serves as a connection to the past/present while forging a link to the future.

Esther was born and raised in Northern California and resided in Sacramento, CA from 2011-2024 after attending the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in San Francisco, CA. Hall has exhibited work nationwide with recent exhibitions including Victoria College Gallery in Victoria, TX; Presa House Gallery in San Antonio, TX; Library Gallery at California State University Sacramento in Sacramento, CA; and Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles, CA. Esther’s work has been supported by organizations and residencies such as the Latino Center of Art and Culture, Planned Parenthood, Facebook, Wassaic Project, and Flower Shop Art Residency.
