For Kids
Through oil painting and detailed graphite and charcoal drawings, I seek to honor the past while embracing the energy of the present.

Artist Roster
The Spokane Arts artist roster is a searchable tool designed to showcase local creatives and connect them with community members seeking artists and makers. Browse the entire roster to discover a new favorite artist or filter by the type of work you’re seeking. You’ll find samples of their work, a description of what drives them to create and links to check out their website or social media. Use the roster to discover the incredible talent living right here in our community. Please note: the artist roster is a free resource directory to find artists. Any local artist can add their information. The artists on the roster are not endorsed or represented by Spokane Arts.
In order to foster a thriving creative community where artists can make a living doing their work, Spokane Arts believes in the importance of paying artists. Too often, creatives are asked to provide time, labor, materials, or finished work for free. While most of us wouldn’t ask an electrician, CPA or nurse to provide their professional services at no cost — knowing they trained and studied to gain expertise — artists are often asked to donate their services. Many artists and creatives do choose to donate their time to causes they care deeply about, but to make a living, doing work for free should be the exception, not the rule. We humbly ask you to keep this in mind when contacting creatives on the roster, and know that you can always ask an artist to give you a cost estimate or written proposal to review. Questions? Don’t hesitate to ask our staff; we’d be happy to help guide you. Contact skyler@spokanearts.org.

My focus tends to be animals and pop culture with some eclectic choices in between. My favorite medium is copic markers and multiliners on paper, sometimes canvas.

Holly Melnrick
Through my work, I aim to capture the fluidity of life, reflecting its dynamic rhythms, infinite colors, and capturing the feeling I get from observing and living life as a whole; body, mind, and spiritual being.

I am an aspiring artist again at age 67, from Spokane. I recently picked up the brush after 40+ year hiatus. Currently, I primarily paint realism to hyper-realism in acrylics, both studio, and plein air.

I paint because I feel. Sometimes endlessly, and I wish to create visuals that encourages the beholder to feel, whatever it may be, as well.
