The Thanksgiving Address, also called "Greetings and Thanks to the Natural World" is an ancient indigenous statement of gratitude for the gifts of the natural world that sustain us all. Although passed down for centuries by the people of the Haudenosaunee Confederation of northeast North America, Robin Wall Kimmerer has shared the Thanksgiving Address worldwide in her book “Braiding Sweetgrass”, published by Milkweed Editions. The Liberty Gallery exhibit features art inspired by this statement of gratitude, created by nine local artists. Participating artists are Cherylee Duncan, Katie Frey, Sarah Goodwin, Debbie Hughbanks, Mary Pat Kanaley, Anette Lusher, Robbin Miller, Pierr Morgan, and Vicki West.

Kelsea Rothaus is a self-taught artist based in Spokane, Washington. Her work explores themes of the human condition and the interconnectedness of the universe. Using primarily ink and water to embrace both unpredictability and permanence, each creation is shaped into a moment in time, with quiet tension between light and dark.
Kelsea Rothaus’ latest body of work looks outward to the stars and universe while reflecting on what it means to be human. Using her own style of ink wash, she embraces a process that is fluid yet permanent. Each mark is final, and echoes the irreversible nature of lived experience. These dreamscapes are subtly embellished with detail, inviting you to slow down and look closer at the art or into yourself.
