Is it just me? Or does spring feel a little extra . . . sprung this year? The days are longer, greenery and flowers are sprouting all around, and the skies are clear and blue. What’s the cherry on top? Washington recently entered Phase 3, allowing businesses and events to begin blooming as bodacious as the Dogwood trees.

IN THEIR CRAFT

PRICILLA CREATES
featuring Pricilla Gil
An up-and-coming photographer in our region, Pricilla Gil, is one to watch. Find her on instagram (@pricilla.creates) to be swept away by the stories her images tell.
Where does your inspiration come from?
I would say my inspiration comes from many things, because I shoot different concepts. If it’s a cultural (Mexican) shoot, the passion and strength of my culture inspires me to provoke those emotions with a shoot. If it’s a styled shoot the fashion, colors, fabric, and poses inspire me to provoke the feeling of powerful, unbothered, and confident. In all of my shoots (art, music, fashion, iced coffee on a rainy day, a conversation with friends) I try to provoke and portray emotion. I think inspiration is everywhere, however I don’t rely on inspiration alone. Inspiration comes and goes, and I believe in trusting the process of creating, over a spark in a moment.
How would you describe your style of art?
Each shoot has its own emotion, ambiance and style. If I could use 5 words to describe my art it would be passionate, abstract, editorial, creative and modern. I now specialize in Editorial, commercial and conceptual photography.
Best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
The best piece of advice I have ever received is “Pray about it” (whatever “it” may be).
LOBA
featuring Ana Ramirez
An artist and jeweler based in the Tri-Cities, Ana Ramirez specializes in clay and metal semi-fine jewelry. She strives to create one of a kind pieces that empower the wearer. See her latest styles on instagram. (@lobaplusco)
What makes LOBA one of a kind?
I think that creating without prefabricated clay cutters has truly made LOBA one of a kind. It allows me to create my own shapes and designs. Having the liberty to design my own patterns without prefabricated stencils and creating my own color recipes by scratch has made my brand one-of-a-kind in the polymer clay community.
What’s a lesson you find yourself learning and relearning while building your business?
I’m learning that it takes a team to build a brand, and that I can’t do this all on my own. I invested in a brand consultant last year, and I have started to collaborate more with the creative community around Tri-Cities and surrounding areas. With each season of LOBA, I’ve learned that I’m not capable of doing it all.
Next big goal you’re working towards?
My next big goal for LOBA is completing our studio space in Spokane, WA, but my own personal goal that I have already started is to educate myself on is metalsmith work. I want to be able to handcraft my own metal jewelry for LOBA in the future.
