In 2022 he was named the inaugural Restoring Hope, Restoring Trust Artist in Residence 2023 at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN. 

In the studio Corona develops fabulated narratives centering marginalized individuals in society that investigate what it means to be a queer Latinx immigrant in a place where there are few. He organizes and choreographs large-scale performances and installations that oftentimes quietly confront and delight viewers with some of the most pressing issues of our time. Reoccurring themes of queerness, race/class/gender, nature, isolation, celebration, and the climate crisis are present throughout his work. Hoesy has exhibited widely in galleries, museums, and public spaces in the United States and internationally including recent solo exhibitions All Roads Lead to Roam (2023) at Eric Dean Gallery at Wabash College in Crawfordsville, IN; Sunset Moonlight (2021) at The Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, MD; and Alien Nation (2017), at The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden presented by Transformer in Washington, DC. His work has been reviewed by The Washington Post, The American Scholar, Bmore Art Magazine, Washington City Paper, and The Baltimore Sun, among others. He is a current resident artist at The Creative Alliance in Baltimore, MD.
