I am a ceramic artist. I create functional art from stoneware and porcelain. I primarily wheel throw and often alter my pots with slip trailing, carving, surface painting or sprig molds. My work is influenced and inspired externally by the beauty in nature and internally by whatever my heart is processing at the moment I create. Perhaps that is why my work is varied in style often surprising people that they all came from the same person.

Tasko
Graffiti belongs to the streets. And I want to put more than just my name on a canvas. I like to control the destiny of the art I create. Characters, themes of music, love, food, hip-hop. I paint little slices of my imagination. My work has evolved to include unique, emotionally charged themes which are clearly influenced by the culture
that shaped me & made me into an ever-changing artist. I recently moved back to Spokane after being a traveling Chef for 3 years. Signed a lease on an amazing art studio & I’m ready to unpack & start becoming more involved in the community & always thriving Art scene here. I’m always available for the next adventure!!

I was born and raised in Spokane, my grandfather’s art career was one of the things that inspired me growing up. I’m trying to kickstart my art career as best as I can. Eventually, I’d like to be able to fully support myself with art as my career. In my free time outside of my current job, I am taking care of my Shiba Inu named Nyva! She’s a cutie, and sometimes a troublemaker haha!
