Peyton’s work reflects a deep appreciation for detail and texture. She combines fluid acrylic painting with doodles, creating art that is rich in layers and visual complexity. When she’s not creating, Peyton enjoys spending time with her two dogs and her husband, finding inspiration in the everyday moments of life. The work is an exploration of texture, color, and the natural world, weaving together fluid acrylic paint with hand-drawn doodles. Paintings in layers, allowing each section to evolve organically, creating depth and complexity. The process of layering is integral to the work—it mirrors the complexity of life, where multiple elements, experiences, and emotions interact to form something uniquely beautiful.
In John’s words: "I love to paint portraits and chose musicians from my young adult years. As I age, loss and death of good friends is ever present. In this series, my choice of subject matter links my memories of good times and great friends to these music legends. Some are deceased and some are still performing. All of the work is painted in oil on canvas."
Stop by the Historic Liberty Building this Aug to view John's paintings ~ stop by First Friday Aug 7 to Meet the Artist 5-8pm.
Featuring Tom Bovey, Bevie Labrie, Laurie Carlson, and Heatherann Woods, Light/Land/Sky brings together four artists exploring landscape, light, and perspective through varied materials and viewpoints. From aerial studies of the rural Spokane region to expansive skies shaped by atmosphere and weather, the work invites viewers to slow down and look closely at land, sky, and the subtle shifts that shape how we experience place.
Using approaches that range from drone-informed drawing and traditional painting to earth pigments and reused materials, these artists reflect on how we see and relate to our environment in the present moment. Twilight scenes reveal quiet illumination in darkness, skies stretch the sense of scale and possibility, and works made from what is already at hand speak to resilience, sufficiency, and care for the land, and the people who inhabit it.
Rooted in both local and far-reaching landscapes, this exhibition considers how changing perspective whether from above, at the edge of enough, or in the search for light can open space for reflection, connection, and imagination.
