With a new year taking shape, Artist Claire Rae Edmo is starting on an adventure as the sƛ̓x̣etkʷ Artist-In-Resident with the Spokane Falls Community College Fine Art Gallery. Since childhood, Edmo has always been creating art. From drawing “little stories or comic books” for her grandma as a child to taking every art class she could in high school, it was not a hard choice to pursue art in college. “(Art is) what I wanted to do so I need to go for it, and I don’t regret it,” Edmo said.

Look what you made me do: football fan edition
Touchdown! First down! Pass interference! I’ve heard these words my entire life. Both my parents, each of their fathers and now my sister, husband and father-in-law say them. Even I am saying them now. For a long time, I hated football. I didn’t understand it and no one would explain it as the NFL game was on so I could see what they meant. I’d call the games modern day gladiator fights. My husband also watches arena football. His favorite NFL player, Kurt Warner, actually started in arena football.

Back Within These Walls: From Child to Student
Not many children grow up playing tag in the hallways and classrooms of universities. I did and I did it here at CWU. As a child, my parents worked at CWU so I spent four years in different buildings across campus. I remember the old SURC building and when they closed it to build the current one in 2005 or 2006. There are mammoth bone casts in Dean Hall from a site I visited when I was 10 or 11. The round hallway of Grupe Conference Center was my own racetrack.
