The community is invited to the Art Spirit new exhibit, "Local Color," which opens Saturday, Feb. 1, at 11 a.m. The exhibit four exceptional local artists: Wes Hanson, L.R. Montgomery, Megan Perkins, and Teresa Rancourt.

"Local Color" is more than just a title; it's a celebration of the unique hues and textures that define the region, gallery officials said.  Each artist draws inspiration from the rich palette of the Inland Northwest.

Hanson's work features an impressionistic style, employing loose brushstrokes and transparent washes to create a sense of fluidity and movement. The colors are often subtly modulated, evoking a sense of tranquility and serenity.

Montgomery's oil paintings showcase a bold use of color and texture, often employing a vibrant and expressive palette.

In Perkins' paintings, light and shadow play a significant role in creating

mood and atmosphere.

Rancourt's paintings are known for a vibrant and expressive use of color, each bringing a unique perspective and vision to an exploration of local color. 

The resulting exhibition is a captivating tapestry of styles, techniques, and interpretations of the region’s landscape and spirit.
