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.

Older Than the Crown: World Premiere
The world premiere of “Older Than The Crown” is on Saturday, February 8, at 7 p.m. at the Garland Theater in Spokane.
“This documentary is a tribute to the strength and resilience of generations of our people who struggled against overwhelming colonial forces and fought for our very survival. Having at least part of our story finally told is very gratifying. For well over 150 years, the Sinixt have sacrificed and lost so much. Rick Desautel honors all of our ancestors and this film is for them.” Rodney Cawston, Chairman of the Colville Confederated Tribes
