A little about the Consultant…
Mattea Schwab
I have always had a deep connection to the beauty that surrounds my home here in the Gorge. The rivers, mountains, and everything in between have always been a source of inspiration for me. Nature is my muse, and you will often see my work incorporating organic elements such as plants, flowers, mushrooms, and animals, as a way to connect the art back to the natural world.
Collaboration is something I thrive on, and I find joy in working with other local artists, creatives, businesses, and people in the Gorge and its surrounding communities. The opportunity to share the connection to my home with my clients is something I truly cherish.
Currently residing in White Salmon, WA, I work as a full-time Artist/Designer/Photographer. I enjoy spending my time creating art, foraging in the forests, swimming in rivers & lakes, surfing in nearby oceans, & skiing in our surrounding mountains.
