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.
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.

Nicole Leigh
As an adult I’ve focused on watercolor and ink. I’ve never been restricted though, also experimenting with jewelry, block printing, clay, fashion, dance, and assemblage.
These Golden Hours
My paintings often show woman in a transformative state where they are finding their inner selves and beginning to create their own narratives.
Bongo Thompson
I make passion project zines for Spokane Zine Fest and try to stay sane during the off season.
Dorman Reeves
With my art I intend on creating my own two dimensional universe. Filled with strange and unique worlds, and characters, that represent the themes of life and death.
Nalini Gupta
I create affordable, usable home art as well as canvases that anyone can buy and treasure. Every piece is made with carefully chosen acacia or bamboo wood items for home and quality canvases for paintings.
Lily Reavis
Her work is mainly sculptural, incorporating some drawing/painting. She often displays a variety of materials and textures, with an aesthetic requiring found objects and antique elements.
