Liberty Gallery Presents “Wild Flower’s – Sharing a Journey Through Patricia Robinson’s Internal Landscape”

Patricia Wheeler-Robinson grew up on a farm in Spokane, with art, dance, music, drawing and painting always in her life. She learned to play violin as a child, taking her violin to Paris where she played in the clubs, and was a member of a professional Modern Dance Co. in Portland.

Landscapes are the subject and watercolor the medium for Pat’s paintings, having shown her work in California, Idaho, and Washington ~ she even has a few pieces in Paris! Inspiration comes from her life experiences, travels, and emotional perspectives ~ the pieces reflect the joy of sharing a journey through her internal landscape.

Artists Ann Austin & Dianne McDermott @ PPP for June ’23!

Pottery Place Plus is pleased to present Spokane mixed media artist Ann Austin and Liberty Lake fiber artist Dianne McDermott as our guest artists in June ’23.

Ann uses the found beauty and repeating patterns of the natural world in her collage and mixed media, overlaying and combining colors & patterns in the manner of a puzzle coming into focus with each new piece. She incorporates found images and papers, and also her own monoprints and photos, resulting in a visual and emotional experience that brings a moment of joyful surprise.

Dianne uses her art background as an illustrator and graphic artist in designing her backpacks, purses & bags. She often researches designer fabrics to compile a theme, then adds beadwork and embroidery to the uniqueness of each creation.

Stop by our shop & gallery this June to view the work of Ann Austin & Dianne McDermott ~ we are located in the Historic Liberty Building at 203 N. Washington St in downtown Spokane.

Stepwell

We are thrilled to announce Stepwell, a sculpture by J. Meejin Yoon of Höweler + Yoon, located in Riverfront Park, north of the Providence Playscape is now open to the public! Stepwell is an interactive sculpture that uses a renewable resource (mass timber) as its primary material. Comprised of 68 individual pieces, each hand-carved and machined, all precisely engineered to fit together like a puzzle, Stepwell explores a new, more climate-conscious way to think about our built environment. Stepwell will invite the community to sit, climb, and enjoy the unique space it creates within the park. Visitors will move through the interior of the sculpture via an ADA pathway or climb its steps to experience an elevated view of the Spokane River.
