Yuliia Umanets, Gallery Assistant

 
 

Yuliia is an artist and animator with aspirations of earning her bachelor's degree in animation. In her free time, she immerses herself in the pages of classic literature and seeks adventure amidst the beauty of nature. Although she has a bad relationship with sports, she finds joy and tranquility in the serenity of hiking trails. The wild landscapes of the Pacific Northwest inspire her to create oil paintings.

Katie Swaim, Gallery Assistant

 
 

Katie Swaim was born and raised in the Pacific Northwest before joining the Navy. While in, she lived in Japan for two years and also served on humanitarian missions in south east Asia. She has a back ground in ceramics but is currently pursuing a BFA with a metals concentration. Inspired by her travels overseas, she tries to encompass the philosophy of "Wabi Sabi" in her work. In her free time she enjoys going on hikes with her son or checking out live music.

Braedon Pitman, Gallery Assistant

 
 

Braedon is a novel writer and musician born in Portland OR. They have lived in the PNW all of their life and enjoy hiking on the occasional weekend. Unsurprisingly, they are a creative writing major at Clark college and aim to be a successful author. The quote by Adam Savage, “failure is always an option”, is their life motto. Failure isn’t the end, it’s the first step on the pathway of learning.
