Courtney Castleman
I’m a digital artist with ADHD who specializes in hand-drawn illustrations, comics, and storyboarding! I occasionally do traditional acrylic paintings as well. I was born and raised in Spokane, my grandfather’s art career was one of the things that inspired me growing up. I’m trying to kickstart my art career as best as I can. Eventually, I’d like to be able to fully support myself with art as my career. In my free time outside of my current job, I am taking care of my Shiba Inu named Nyva! She’s a cutie, and sometimes a troublemaker haha!

Josh Hobson’s Exhibition “Nocturnes”
As a lens-based artist I am deeply interested with the fluidity of photography– constantly redefining itself and problematizing its status as a fixed medium. Through a broad practice that embraces the studio, still life, re-photography, material experimentation, abstraction and non-representation, I aim to challenge and expand upon the primary tenets of the medium: originality, faithfulness, reproduction and indexicality. My current work sits at the crossroads of photography, sculpture and installation and is grounded in material culture, the history of abstraction and an alternative history of lens-based media.
The images from the Nocturnes series are a conceptual and technical continuation of work made over the past three years, specifically the series Sunstroke. This work is an
expression of climate angst and anxiety. The colors and textures produce sublime, abstracted images at once alluring and alarming. Utilizing an experimental approach, but with the visual language of atmosphere, celestial bodies and terrestrial flora, the resulting images are both otherworldly, yet familiar.

Leela Francis Artist; Wahaka Walls & Windows
This new series by local acrylic mixed media painter Leela Francis features the artist’s fascination with the rich cultural heritage that thrives in Oaxaca City, Mexico where she spent time last Spring. “Living most of my life in more rural settings where nature is my muse, I was smitten by the interplay of textures and patterns abounding in this vibrant city so central to Mexican history. Truly an enchanting visual backdrop to the politically activist local culture there, juxtaposed against a powerful historical presence of zapotec tradition”.
