I currently create at the intersection of spirituality, psychology, and art to inspire others to explore the mysteries of the divine and to access their internal freedom. My practices are frequently informed by music, faith and the natural world and include mixed-media acrylics, playful abstracts, collage, and poetry.
Terri Griffin currently resides in Spokane. She has a BFA from the University of South Alabama in painting and printmaking.
Terri moved frequently to many locations throughout the United States as a military spouse. This experience informed her art, and her pieces explore themes of transition and the transitory nature of culture.
Both the medium and style Terri chooses are the beginning of a visual dialogue. She believes the beauty of art is in creating an image which transcends language and time. This fluidity allows art to stay relevant. It begins a conversation with a viewer that changes with perspective.

My name is Hannah and I am a Spokane-based naturalist artist. I primarily utilize watercolor and gouache and I have an educational background in natural science education. I am passionate about capturing the intricate details and unique beauty of the natural world. From insects and crustaceans to mollusks and fungi, I am drawn to subjects that are often overlooked or considered weird, but which have an important role to play in our ecosystem.

Artist Tracy Petre Walker presents a body of artwork that explores universal themes seen within our society through the use of symbolism, archetypal imagery, and stereotyping. These topics examine daily life, current events and social concerns that are interpreted through the use of complex compositions, distorted imagery, and the layering of both space and meaning. “Life and Time” on view at the SFCC Fine Art Gallery through October 19, 2023.
Rachel Strauch is an artist based in the Inland Northwest. Her work uses nature, the human body, and intense complimentary colors to depict themes of mental health, growth, and vulnerability.

I’m a 24 year old student who wants to bring people together with stickers! I make inclusive stickers catering to LGBTQ+ community as well as spirituality and other categories. I operate on Redbubble ( https://www.redbubble.com/people/ZephyrDeLaRosa/shop?asc=u ), Etsy ( https://innyxsstarscreations.etsy.com ), and my Instagram (in_nyxs_stars_creations).
I wanted to share with you some recent photography work that I had done. These photos have been enhanced, painted, and texturized to create a unique and beautiful effect that can be appreciated by those who have their sight as well as those who are visually impaired. The digital enhancements have brought out the colors and details in the photos, making them even more stunning than they were before. The painted elements and texturizing add a touch of artistic flair, giving the photos a truly one-of-a-kind look and feel. For those who are visually impaired, the textures in the photos can be felt and explored with their hands, allowing them to experience the art in a different way. The use of color and contrast in the photos also makes them accessible to those with low vision. Overall, I am thrilled with how these photos turned out, and I am excited to share them with a wider audience. I believe that the digital enhancements, painting, and texturizing have really elevated the photos to a new level, making them even more special and memorable for everyone who experiences them.
Hi, I’m Mo! I’m a self-taught artist who recently started painting again (after a 15 year hiatus) to help de-stress from my technical day job. Drippy florals and colorful abstracts are what I have been gravitating towards most with my artwork. A goal is to display my work locally, and I would love to one day design a book cover, beer can label, and get into some large-format painting. I would also love to assist/volunteer with mural and other large art installations, if anyone needs a hand! After growing up in the South and previously living in NYC and Denver, I currently reside in Spokane, Washington, with my partner and two furry helpers. Besides painting, in my spare time I enjoy traveling, reading, volunteering, and mountain sports.
Feel free to contact me via email, or check out my portfolio via my website or Instagram (@MoStachStudios)!
Hello! My name is Brandon aka BpzSculpts and I am a polymer clay artist that was born and raised in Spokane. I have been sculpting for about 7 years with different mediums, but mainly Polymer Clay. My work takes the cute and conventional and makes it ugly and weird. The intention isnt just to make the viewer uncomfortable but also to make them pause and think about what they are looking at/where this thing might have came from or what it can do, bringing it to life in their mind. My work can be viewed on Instagram found above, and can be purchased on my Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/ShopBpzSculpts
