First Friday December 3! 5 to 9pm at Gallery of THUM!
This month our showcase artist is Rick Davis. Rick is a local artist who lives near the Little Spokane River and loves to mimic nature in metal and to
watch it come to life. In his sculpture, you will see how his methods of shaping and coloring metal result in Icons of Nature and Spirit.
He takes his inspiration from nature, of course, but also his Celtic roots, yoga, and his appreciation for Native American Culture.
Our second showcase artist is Pam Hanson, who works with the medium of cut fabric. She creates wonderful textile ribbons of woven
material mounted on black canvas.
A must see will also be the emerging characters of Kate Robbins; her lively creations are needle felted and born into darling marionettes.
Last but certainly not least: Ralph Carson, will also be with us. He paints ‘Old home town Spokane’, and the surrounding flora and fauna of yore.
So be sure to make it to the Gallery of THUM, 2910 N Monroe, the perfect place to buy local art from local artists.
As always, parking is free and the reception features hot coffee, chocolate, cider and other libations. Installed until Dec 31.
