Featured Artist
Drew Dost

Drew Dost is a multi-media artist whose creative journey began surrounded by the coastal beauty of Monterey, California, continued through her studies at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo where she earned a degree in elementary education, and is now rooted in her home of Seattle, Washington. Surrounded by inspiring landscapes throughout her life, Drew’s work reflects a deep appreciation for nature and the quiet, meaningful moments that shape our everyday experiences. 

She works in a range of mediums including acrylic paint, oil pastels, colored pencil, linocut printmaking and more, choosing each material for the unique textures and feelings they can help convey. Drew’s creative practice also includes crochet, custom pet portraits, and murals that aim to bring warmth and personality to shared spaces. Her work balances personal storytelling with universal themes of connection, love, and curiosity. 

In addition to her personal art practice, Drew is an active member of the arts community and currently serves as Treasurer of Renton Art Oasis. She also has recently begun teaching children’s art classes in Renton and Seattle. More of Drew’s work can be found on her website drewdostdraws.com and on her Instagram @drewdostdraws.

Mission Statement

Renton Art Oasis is a nonprofit dedicated to nurturing the creative spirit of Renton’s local artists through access to resources, public exposure, and community-driven programming. We believe art is for everyone, and we work to remove barriers by offering free or low-cost classes, providing art supplies, and creating inclusive spaces where all people—regardless of background or income—can participate. Our mission is to cultivate a vibrant arts scene by empowering artists and fostering meaningful connections between creators and the community.

We believe:

Art lives everywhere - not just in galleries or studios, but in neighborhoods, conversations, and everyday acts of creativity.

Art is for everyone - every voice matters, and every form of expression
has value.

Art builds community - bringing people together to imagine, heal, and grow.

If it comes from a place of intention, imagination, or lived experience,
it belongs here.

Renton Art Oasis is a home for all forms of art—and all who create it.
