Creative Spirits Gallery
The goal of the WLLC Creative Spirits Gallery is to support emerging and established artists and give their works exposure. The gallery exhibits works by area professional artists with opportunities for amateur artists as well. The gallery team seeks to create collaborations among the artists and between the artists and the community.
The gallery has two main exhibition walls, each approximately 15 feet long and 8 feet tall. In addition to this space, two of our sanctuary’s walls serve as exhibiting walls, each approximately 8 feet tall and 40 feet long. There is also a niche gallery space called “Little Spirits” that can hold 2 large or up to 20 small pieces. Glass art can be displayed in natural light and fabric art hanged on poles or with clips. Artists also have brought in their own cabinets for display of jewelry and other 3D pieces.
Artists Currently on Display in the Gallery
Karen Shawcross
I paint in pastels—sticks of pure pigment on archival sanded paper. They are held in the hands like crayons – without brushes or mixing paints. Since my favorite media as a child was crayons, I’m right at home again.
Kasey Wanford
Kasey Wanford is an abstract painter living in Lake Oswego, Oregon. She paints in an expressive style, focusing on color and form. She paints with acrylics but also has a robust digital practice. Her work is inspired by the imagined inner self, a bodiless being seeking to expand, grow, and find connection.

I love the way images preserve the moments that we didn’t even knew existed, how they can bring a new perspective, and mostly how they can inform and bring change to either the heart or soul. As a deaf individual, I understand how a photograph can connect people, build community, and in some cases be an avenue to peace or progress. I hope to create such images, and share them with you.
