“Symbiosis: The Living Language of the Inland Northwest” brings together three artists exploring the deep interconnections between humans and the natural world.

Lauren Adams’ large scale drawings of native conifers honor the monumental presence and intricate details of the region’s forests. Tricia Kleinot’s Fruiting Bodies reveals the unseen networks of fungi and lichen that sustain life beneath the surface. Joanna Shippam’s paintings celebrate the natural world through abstract representation, often mixing natural pigments with manmade mediums to highlight our connection to our environment.

Together, their works invite viewers to see the Inland Northwest as a living system where every root, spore, and grain of soil speaks the language of balance, reciprocity, and wonder.

Jan 3rd, 8th, 9th, 10th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 29th, 30th, Jan 31st | 4:00PM - 7:00PM
