TATE SMITH
(NOVEMBER 2022)
Tate Smith is a dedicated father and husband that enjoys getting his girls out into Wyoming's countryside for adventure. As a working-landscape conservationist, Tate is fortunate to explore across all of Wyoming and experience everything the state has to offer. His photography captures Wyoming's flora, fauna, and landscapes. Working exclusively without post production modifications, Tate's "in-body only" approach to photography captures the truth and beauty he gets to witness: crisp, vivid, and pure.

DANIELLE KIRBY
(SEPTEMBER 2022)
Stop by Blue Raven Brewery during September's Friday Artwalk on September 2nd to meet artist Danielle Kirby.

CURTIS HOLCOMB
(AUGUST 2022)
Curtis Holcomb's art was featured at Blue Raven Brewery in August of 2022. For those that came by to see these beautiful pieces, thank you! We hope to have his work in the brewery again soon. “A lot of my work is inspired by different aspects of nature and the combination of graphic design. Line, shape, and color theory all play an import role in what I create, as well as the process in which it is created. I like to be hands on as much as possible. Even with digital modes of art, I like to have some kind of physical hand in the work.”
