Dot Cherch is a Washington native, originally from the foothills of Mount Rainier and now based on Vashon, close to where she visited her grandma as a child and teenager. Dot uses her connections to the Seattle area and key moments in her life to create art that focuses on everyday objects and the emotions that go with them. Since joining VALISE in 2019, Dot has experimented with gouache on wood, as well as mixed media miniatures. She also creates animations and weekly illustrations for the Kids’ Poetry Club podcast. Dot is currently working on pieces for a 2023 joint-show with her father, pop artist Bill Ding, inspired in part by iconic Seattle locations.
