The Confluence Staff &
Board of Directors
Meet the faces behind your local, nonprofit art gallery!
Robin Doggett, Executive Director
A longtime member of our local creative community, Robin has over 20 years' experience as a working artist, a creative small business owner, and former Board member and employee of The Confluence. As Executive Director, she draws upon her expertise in marketing and communications, fine art, curation, publishing and retail customer service.
“To support local artists and to work with an organization that has such deep roots in the community is exciting. The Confluence is a unique creative hub, and I’m thrilled to be entrusted with this important role.”
Gus Rose-Witt, Creative Coordinator
Ilsa (‘Gus’) Rose-Witt is a Theatre Arts graduate from the University of Idaho, and has her own visual arts practice. Gus has lived in Omak most of her life, but has also ventured out for various opportunities for work and travel, her most notable being as an actor in Wyoming, a traveler in New Zealand, and as a road trip guide throughout the US. In particular, she is interested in outreach and accessibility. She is ready to spark conversations between people from all different backgrounds over common interests. When not working, Gus can be found doing her best marmot impression in the mountains.
Teresa Mitchell, Business Manager
Teresa joined The Confluence staff in 2022 and served as its beloved Executive Director from the fall of 2024 through early 2026. As former co-owner of Rocking Horse Bakery, where she maintained all administrative aspects of the business, Teresa is well-appointed to oversee the business administration of The Confluence. Her nonprofit experience includes tenures as a faculty member at The Bush School in Seattle and as Program Director for the Vermont Institute of Natural Science. She currently serves on the board of the Methow Housing Trust. After 16 years in the Methow, Teresa and her family are making a new home in Santa Fe, where she plans to enjoy another vibrant creative community, hiking in the hills, tending a garden, writing, cooking, and participating in the growing sustainable fashion movement through her business, Upfashioned.
