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 shantell@spokanearts.org.

Reinaldo Gil Zambrano
Love ink on paper and to share the process with others. Sometimes using a Steamroller is the best way to make a print.

Tom Quinn
I work mostly in acrylic and oil with hard edges, intense colors, and finicky detail. I like to show what’s absurd but not impossible, to take the ordinary out of context, and to turn the familiar into the strange.

Michael Dinning
I believe that art should provide a small sense of wonder and delight, and I have also always felt that painting and sculpture are, along with the creative vision, something to be built. My love of that constructive process is always present in the finished piece of artwork, as important to me as realizing a coherent, complex and compelling artistic expression.

Tiffany Patterson
I identify as an optimistic, empathic, queer night bird who has a complicated romance with danger. My candy-coated color palette has seeped out of the studio and I’ve wholeheartedly committed to it as a lifestyle. This may be deceiving though, as my work also holds a secret darkness. I am a procrastinator who thrives under pressure. My work is playful and uses repetition of patterns as visual texture and meditation; often loosing myself and painting for hours on end.

Frankie Benka
I have been doing photography for 50 years. As an artist, I don’t limit myself to one medium. I have painted with oil, watercolor, acrylic, and alcohol ink. I have created pieces in ceramic and porcelain. I have made both 2d and 3d sculpture. In recent years, my art has led me to designing functional spaces. I have designed everything from tiny houses to opera houses, bridges, public art, furniture, and lighting.
