I am based in Spokane, and work largely with watercolor, acrylic, and polymer clay to create 3D artwork. The Surrealist movement, the dramatic scenes of the Baroque period, and the colors and clouds of their Rococo successors have heavily influenced my aesthetic, as well as a childhood diorama obsession. A steady stream of sci-fi novels, historical nonfiction, and podcasts of all kinds fuel the conceptual underpinnings of each piece. As an artist I am interested in creating works that cannot be fully appreciated through a screen. I attempt this by layering individual elements in space so the viewer must move around the artwork to see details available from only certain angles. I also employ a consistent set of symbols and rules throughout my pieces. I am happy if my work resonates with anyone regardless of how you identify, although ultimately everything I make, I make in the hopes that it will be seen by other queer people, and that they in turn will feel seen. If you enjoy my art, would like to hear more about the ideas behind each piece, or you are interested in purchasing/commissioning artwork, please look me up on Instagram @art.of.kwd or reach out via email at kayuudee1@gmail.com . (Please make sure to note clearly in the email subject line that you are making inquiries about my artwork.)

Don’t miss out on this inspiring and informative evening, where you’ll have the opportunity to engage directly with the artist herself and delve deeper into her colorful world.
The Whitworth University Art & Design Department and the university’s Bryan Oliver Gallery are proud to present a selection of works created over the last 50 years by Whitworth Professor Emeritus of Art & Design Gordon Wilson. Please visit the exhibit between Nov. 7, 2023, and Jan. 24, 2024.
Artist statement: “Works in the exhibit are representational. They include familiar elements that are meant to make the unfamiliar elements accessible. The works are not solely a record but are intended to be in some way a separate reality – a personalized view. The attributes of a street, mood of an individual or representation of a vaguely known family history are stories that can contain shared experience and values. The images are integral to who I am and what I experience. The visual world provides evidence, valuable clues of ongoing cycles, that informs and enriches. The works don’t form a diary – but something like one.”

The Spokane Fall Folk Festival is the premier annual multicultural event in the Inland Northwest. Since 1996 the Folk Festival, sponsored by the Spokane Folklore Society, has been bringing music and dance from many different traditions to the two-day event each November. This Festival showcases regional musical artists and performing groups who represent cultures from around the globe and has inspired similarly styled festivals. What makes this festival shine is that we advertise our schedules and highlight performers in advance to encourage attendance. In 2023 the festival received the Inlander’s Best Of poll award for 3rd for the Best Arts Festival. Spokane Folklore Society is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to fostering American and International cultures in Spokane.
