Episode Details

Lisa Soranaka is painting a stunning, culturally rich mural in downtown Spokane that honors the Asian American Pacific Islander community and Spokane’s historic Trent Alley. Inspired by traditional Chinese and Japanese textiles, the vibrant artwork features koi fish, spring rabbits, and wave patterns — all symbolizing luck and renewal. Working on her largest mural yet, Soranaka is painting freehand from a lift, adapting to outdoor challenges while staying true to her artistic vision. With two-thirds complete, she plans to add cherry blossoms and more intricate details before finishing by summer’s end. The mural, part of a larger series celebrating Spokane’s diverse heritage, has already sparked joy and community pride — proving art’s power to unite and welcome all.
