Sally Lancaster
Bio
Sally Lancaster was born in Spokane and attended Washington State University where she received a bachelor’s degree in Fine Art. She taught jewelry making and papermaking while living in California, displayed in galleries, and participated in group shows.
Sally’s work is focused on mixed media, a culmination of all of the types of materials she has worked with – acrylic painting, fabric, papermaking, printmaking, and jewelry making.
Artist Statement
The mixed media pieces I create focus on working with form, texture and space. By layering and using different materials, I strive to create that feeling of balance and harmony as in nature – the smooth and the textured, the bold and the soft working together.
I don’t always work from a preconceived notion. I let the ideas flow as I begin to work the materials I choose – experimenting with acrylics, colored pencils, papers, fabric and thread until a work emerges. My pieces are created out of the sheer joy of creation itself.
Genevieve Arnold
Genevieve studies nature and artists for her inspiration. Her work usually contains animal imagery. She lives with three beautiful dogs and two cats, an endless source of inspiration and humor. She often looks at the work of Eduardo Kac, Eva Hesse, Mark Dion, Cia Guo-Change, Faith Ringgold and Adrian Piper for inspiration.
She loves living in Spokane with its beautiful parks and close proximity to nature. Her favorite things, other than making art, are walking her dogs, chatting with neighbors and enjoying a cup of hot coffee with friends and family.
