Artist
Chris Wooley

I LOVE people. I really like photographing unique people and creating interesting artwork. Each person brings something special to the table and I love using that as inspiration. Most of my work revolves around digital photography with select pieces augmented with photo manipulation in some way or another. I’m a bit obsessed with Vintage Inspired Portraits. I’m a Master Photographer and Photographic Craftsman. I help others improve their craft and elevate their skillsets to create some killer artwork.

Lindsey Davis Johnson

Lindsey Davis Johnson uses art making as a tool of reckoning with experiences. Bringing the subconscious to tangible images results in a resolution of sorts. A dialogue occurs between artist and image while allowing the image to take the lead in informing and revealing hidden truths. This is the dance of making that fascinates and that brings Johnson to life. She is an Artist, Art Educator, Mother, Aunt and Friend from Spokane now living in Rathdrum, Idaho. Education includes MA.ArtEd, BFA.

Heat Speak

Heat Speak is an indie band led by singer-songwriter multi-instrumentalist Dario Ré. His impassioned poetics sung in English and French are supported by dynamic musicianship and intricate arrangements to create a unique blend of indie folk, chamber pop and world fusion. The project began as a trio in 2014 in Spokane, Washington. The group formally banded with a full line-up following their 2017 album, Aspen Artichoke (released under the eponymous band name Dario Ré). At the end of 2018, the group rebranded as Heat Speak in preparation for their 2020 album release, To Love Wind.
