Tami Siriana
Tami Siriani has been a Spokane resident for over 14 years. She is a wife, mom of two, and a home educator. Tami picked up her first camera at age 14 and has been creating photographic “people” art professionally in the PNW since 2008. By the end of every session she is a dirty disheveled mess from laying on the ground trying to get just the right angle for the camera! She believes that clients deserve her very best and is constantly training, educating, and pushing herself. When she’s not behind the camera, she is running teens to activities or working with her husband, a local business owner on remodeling the family farm. You may find her talking to a stranger in the grocery store check out line or drinking a latte. Tami never runs from a challenge and enjoys learning new things.

Heather Berndt
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
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.
