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.

I am a contemporary abstract artist that works with mixed media and acrylics. I begin a piece with colors in mind but without any predetermined ideas of what the finished work is going to look like. I love the idea of each painting being an unfolding mystery. My acrylic paintings are made with a lot of colors and textures in the hopes of creating a joyful and inspired feeling for the observer.
I am a poet and letterpress printer. Any way to get words on a page. I teach writing, visual rhetoric, editing, and book design at Whitworth University, and am a co-founder of Spokane Print & Publishing Center, and the publisher of Sage Hill Press.

I’m only 5’2″ but I can scale a three story building with a gallon of paint in one hand and a paintbrush in the other. Though I have many artistic outlets, my main motivator these days is designing and installing large scale murals. I love working with the public to create art that they love to live with. My clients include the City of Spokane, New York Department of Transportation, Google, REI, Adobe, and many more.
