A collection of new literary-based mixed media works and collages by local artist Tracy Poindexter-Canton, inspired by various books.

Some pieces draw directly from written sources, while others are created intuitively as visual vignettes that suggest their own narratives. Through layering, fragmentation, and assembly, the work explores how stories can be built, altered, and experienced through image and material.

Library Hours: Mon–Thurs & Sat: 9–6 Fri: 9–4 Sun: 12–4

Artist Reception: Sunday, January 18, 2–4 PM

Kelsea Rothaus is a self-taught artist based in Spokane. Her work explores themes of the human condition and the interconnectedness of the universe. Using primarily ink and water to embrace both unpredictability and permanence, each creation is shaped into a moment in time, with quiet tension between light and dark.

Kelsea's latest body of work looks outward to the stars and universe while reflecting on what it means to be human. Using her own style of ink wash, she embraces a process that is fluid yet permanent. Each mark is final, and echoes the irreversible nature of lived experience. These dreamscapes are subtly embellished with detail, inviting you to slow down and look closer at the art or into yourself.

Stop by the Liberty Gallery located in the Historic Liberty Building from Jan 25th to Feb 28th... stop by First Friday on Feb 6th to meet Kelsea in person!

Jane Austen’s beloved Regency-era heroine takes center stage in EMMA.

Emma Woodhouse is clever, wealthy and believes she knows best when it comes to love—especially when it’s other people’s love lives. Her latest scheme involves the sweet Harriet Smith, whom she advises to reject a perfectly good marriage proposal in favor of another eligible bachelor. As Emma meddles in affairs of the heart, she begins to realize that love, and life, are far more complicated than she imagined, especially when it comes to her own feelings for the steadfast Mr. Knightley.
