Combining whimsy and humor, and primarily working with acrylic, Caleb creates visual art that spans the full range of emotional responses from heartbreak to hope. Inspired by old cartoons from the 30’s and modern cartoons like Spongebob and Adventure Time, as well as the flora and fauna of the Pacific Northwest, Caleb has developed a unique, vibrant style that speaks to power and potential of color and shape.

Darrien Mack
Design is the overarching theme in my work. Whether it’s videography, photography, illustration, dj-ing, or music production, having a grounded sense of organization and cleanliness is key.
Natasha R Hart
I am very excited to be engaged in Irish dance. I found this form of expression at a later age, but it has stuck with me and has become a lifelong adventure. My dedication to this performing art has taken me from studying under mentors in Germany, with family in Ireland, to studying with masters though zoom in my living room. I work closely with local Irish bands to add excitement to their local performances. Whether on tour or at a local nursing home, I focus on authenticity and inclusion. I take this passion with me into classrooms and workshops, where I share my Irish dance experiences. My projects focus on creating hope in the community through the expression of Irish dance.
Gabriella Rose
I am a local eighteen year old singer songwriter located in the PNW, and I have been creating and recording music for over six years. In 2018, I released an EP entitled Lost in Translation, which has amassed over 100,000 streams on Spotify. The Chair, one of the songs from my EP, received best song of the year by a popular indie music blogger, Jason Scott. I have been featured in various music magazines including Pop Matters, Atwood Magazine, Bizarre Mag, B-Sides and Badlands, The Inlander, Grimy Goods, and The Alternative Press. For live performances, I received the “Best New Artist of the Year Award” from a local Spokane music venue, The Bartlett. I was also a featured artist at Volume, which is a local music festival in Spokane. Overall, music is invaluable to me, and I love creating it. Stay weird, support artists, and love your local music scene!

I am a lover of text and melody, which is why you’ll most often find me working with singers.

In our current COVID world, I’m enjoying offering virtual piano lessons to people of all ages and abilities. Do you have a child itching to start lessons? Are you a retiree in quarantine, looking to return to something you haven’t done since childhood? I would love to help further you on your musical journey! Send me a message through my website, and I will be in touch.
