Margaret Albaugh
I’m a documentary family photographer specializing in Day in the Life sessions with families. Sessions can be anywhere from 1 hour to a full day. I apply this approach with businesses for business branding work and events as well. I do lifestyle work and portraits for families and businesses/small business owners as well.
Karen Mobley
Nature is my inspiration, the source of almost all of my works. The root of my curiosity with nature comes from a childhood growing up on an elk refuge in Wyoming and many years of hiking, walking the ditch, reflecting on the birds, animals, plants, sky, and streams. I work as visual artist, poet and arts consultant to community organizations. I am active in Rotary 21 and serve as the co-chair of the International Service Committee and work to raise money to provide grants for potable water in rural areas of Africa and South America. I was named one of the Spokesman-Review’s Difference Makers in Spokane for 2018. I was honored as a Spokane Citizen Hall of Fame inductee for Arts and Letters and with a Whitworth University Distinguished Community Service Award. I have exhibited widely including at the Terrain Gallery (2019), City of Spokane Downtown Library (2019) and the Moses Lake Museum and Art Center (2020).

Arts & Letters Series: Broadside Showcase
Join us at Spokane Print & Publishing Center for an exhibit of print broadsides featuring writing and artwork created as part of the Arts & Letters workshop series, a collaboration between Spark Central and Spokane Print & Publishing Center.
Arts & Letters Series: Letterpress for Broadside
TWO SESSIONS · The broadside is an 11 x 17 poster with text and image. Participants from earlier Arts & Letters sections can use their poems and drawings/carvings to compose a poster, while anyone else can take this section using existing images, print blocks, and text.
Arts & Letters Series: Screen Print for Broadside
Participants will transfer their art to a blank screen by painting out the negative areas using an ink-blocking paint. Once the screen is blocked and taped off, a squeegee is used to pull ink across the screen to transfer the design to paper and create a 1 color print.
