Melissa Cole visited the studio today to give Verne some insights into what sparks her creativity.

Melissa Cole's "New York Connection" exhibit will be at the Marmot Art Space in Kendall Yards starting First Friday, May 3rd at 5:00-8:00. She will also be giving a short lecture and slide show in the gallery Thursday, May 2nd at 5pm, speaking about her inspirations. 

Verne Windham got his start at Spokane Public Radio 20 years ago. “I came in to complain and they hired me.” He’s now the Program Director, as well as the host of Morning Classical and Concert of the Week. When choosing music for Morning Classical, Verne likes to keep the agenda as broadly defined as possible. For Concert of the Week, he focuses on the best of recent local performances, mostly classical in nature. For many years, Verne was also the conductor of the Spokane Youth Orchestra. He enjoys gardening, his vintage car and playing French horn.
