There is a school of thought that artists must have only one recognizable style but Cherylee Duncan has too much artful energy to adhere to that 'rule'. If she has a distinct trademark, it would be 'eclectic' ~ Cherylee abhors waste and therefore get excited about reusing and upcycling as much as possible, to emulate nature's delight in each piece.

When she crochets rugs from all recycled fabrics Cherylee saves bits and pieces for use in mixed media paintings. This method, along with using only what is already on hand, is how she has created her new series, Threadscapes II ~ the options are excitingly endless.

Stop by Pottery Place Plus in the historic Liberty Building this May to see Cherylee's work ~ come by First Friday May 1st to meet Cherylee in person!

This May, D2 Gallery is extremely proud to present the artwork of Spokane artist Benjamin Heiken in his new exhibit "A Rattletrap Sailboat". Heiken's brutal use of collage and haphazard brushstrokes in his paintings evokes a sort of violence, which mirrors his personal struggle to reveal subconscious feelings about his existential place in the world. This abstract work is complex, messy, intuitive and thought provoking, and this will be a stellar local exhibit by an artist who typically exhibits his work in New York, London and Los Angeles. First Friday Opening Reception is on May 1st, from 5 to 8, and "A Rattletrap Sailboat" shows through the end of the month

Join us at Terrain Gallery for ‘The Table Is Set’, a unique art show by Liv Hebert Watkins, honoring the everyday people, objects, and rituals in life. The central aspect of this concept is the dinner table– a space where individuals gather and interact as a whole; despite differences in background, culture, language or family ties. There is beauty in the simple act of gathering, sharing a warm drink, eating food, and sitting together. Combining iconographic halos with commonplace faces and objects, Liv explores the beauty and divinity of the ordinary. Meet artist Liv Hebert Watkins during the opening reception on May 1st from 5:00 - 8:00 pm.
