Drake Haren
As a visual artist based in Spokane, I am inspired by the native beauty of the Palouse landscape and strive to capture its essence through impressionistic techniques. My work celebrates the shifting colors, textures, and forms unique to this region, transforming familiar scenes into dynamic expressions of mood and light. The movement from style, often helps you feel the living nature of my work. This year, I am focused on sharing my work more within the community, connecting with others who appreciate the natural beauty of the area and the emotional resonance it can evoke. In my paintings, I explore how color and brushwork can convey the landscape’s subtle movements and ever-changing atmospheres. By working in an impressionistic style, I aim to create scenes that are both rooted in the natural world and open to interpretation—allowing viewers to find their own connections within the landscape. For me, art is a way of connecting with the environment and with others, offering a shared experience of wonder and reflection. |
