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 mika@spokanearts.org.

Nanette is a nonbinary trans artist from Spokane. She makes weird stuff about normal stuff, but mostly comics and zines. If you’re interested in supporting them you can help by screaming into the void about her until the void screams back at us. Or just read her work.
Mr. Sletner is a one man band from Spokane, WA with a penchant for genre bending musical compositions and witty lyricism.
I am a pet/people sketch artist, product illustrator (shoes, plates etc.), fashion mechanical artist, architectural renderings, mural painter, watercolorist, storyboard artist, landscape and people illustrator.
I am a self-taught visual artist in Spokane WA. My work is primarily abstract based with influences from the PNW and my life journey. I typically work to portray my journey in a visual way that has never been seen before, making each piece it’s own personal experience for both myself and my audience. I use acrylic paint/ink mediums the most, but am often using a mixed media of paint, pastels, spray paint, and pens. I’m excited to be returning to Spokane and to share my work with a new community. You will often find me creating art on-the-go and collaborating with artists of different practices to discover new ways of expression.
As a welder and artist, I just build stuff from the experiences of life. I have monuments all over the NW and many states including Alaska. The choice to create art has been my life’s passion as one energized soul who celebrates this journey here on earth…this little blue marble in space.
I am fascinated by critical theory, and its implications in the realms of both Contemporary Art, and Modernism. I am a video artist, illustrator, designer, painter, and sculptor, with a background in teaching art, glass blowing, and art materials research. I have a B.F.A. in studio art with an emphasis on sculpture from the College of Arts and letters at Eastern Washington University.
I create art from my soul with the love from my heart.
Thank you for coming on this journey with me.

Chelsie Sunde is an artist and photographer who is proud to call Spokane her hometown. She is currently a junior at Gonzaga University pursuing a degree in Fine Art and Criminal Justice. Some of her favorite things are church, coffee, and a good political debate. You can purchase her art and learn more about her at chelsiesunde.com.
My visual work is a kind of additive sculpture, combining assemblage, painting, photography and fabricating. Some pieces have lights and sound. I’m also a sound artist, composing, performing and producing music utilizing electronics, saxophone and found sound.
It’s fun to make stuff that’s interesting to look at. Finding new ways of seeing the commonplace seems like a good idea to me. Many of us daydream and wander through our imaginations. I bring back souvenirs.
Teresa is a mixed media and encaustic artist living in Spokane. Her work can be seen by appointment at her studio/gallery, through her website, or at one of the various group exhibitions she participates in in the U.S.
“…I am so passionate about my work. I hope that people see my paintings and come away with some of the emotion I felt when I painted each piece…”
