Heidi Barnett
Organic Pointillism
Color represents Heidi’s first and most fundamental inspiration, and her vibrant paintings have earned her a devoted following. Largely self-taught, the past five years represent a time of great experimentation, liberation, and personal growth in terms of her technique and style.
Affectionately dubbed the “Q-tip Artist” by her fans, Heidi experiments with palette knives, fingers, and a variety of eclectic tools – including Q-tips – to apply paint to her canvases. Raw, dynamic, and vibrant, her work hints at the fundamentals of Pointillism while pushing the style in new, captivating directions.

Katie Freyt
Impressionist
Katie Frey has been teaching and creating art in Spokane for over 15 years. She paints with bright colors and expressive lines. The subject matter is planned, but everything else is intuitive tangled plants, abstract blocks of color, hidden patterns. Katie wants her art to be wild and invigorating; to look as spontaneous and joyful as it feels when she creates it.
“My paintings explore storytelling through animals and their environment. I am continuously trying to expand, examine and capture my relationship to wildlife and create an open door for viewers to engage with the elements and the habitat.”

Shelly Matthews
Impressionist
Shelly has always loved color and being outdoors! Art classes in school led her to college at Ball State University in her home state of Indiana. Flowers bring her so much joy! Shelly and her husband have designed and created their home and studio. They have goats and chickens and being lakeside gives her peace.
For over twenty two years, outside of being a wife and mom, she founded a Christian elementary school that God grew into 125 students in preschool through fifth grade. Art, of course (both performing and visual arts) are a key part of that school.
