KAITLYN KELLY
(JULY 2026)
Kaitlyn shares about her work: “I’ve been experimenting with this art process for a little over a year. Let me take you on a Sidequest Out West: A journey into all things weird, wild, and western. Invented in 1842 the cyanotype technique is an early photographic printing process that produces these gorgeous hues of blue!”

JAKE WILLIAMS
(JUNE 2026)
Jake Williams is an oil painter whose work is influenced by his love and amusement of nature. From fish and birds, to landscapes and seascapes, to clouds and the cosmos, Jake tries to convey the beauty and anomalies of the natural world by recording it onto canvas. He started painting close to 10 years ago and is mostly self-taught with the exception of learning techniques through YouTube videos or catching “The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross” every once in a while. He hopes his paintings evoke positive feelings and emotions, and also inspires others who are intimidated by making art without formal training. Just go for it!

SARA WILLSON

Sara grew up in Cheyenne, where backyard gardening with her mom and camping trips with her dad & brother sparked an early love of Wyoming flowers and landscapes. These experiences continue to inform her work as a mixed media artist. Today, she teaches art at Triumph High School and occasionally contributes behind the scenes at Blue Raven Brewery, where her husband is the head brewer. Between these roles, Sara is always on the lookout for a singular scrap of paper or unexpected material that will inspire her next mixed media art piece!

ASHLEY ROGERS
(MARCH 2026)
Wyoming native Ashley Rogers is a collage artist drawn to the unexpected — the strange meeting points where unrelated images collide. Her work explores the beauty of odd, surreal, and seemingly incompatible combinations.
JAZZY RAQS
(FEBRUARY 2026)
Jazzy Raqs (Jocelyn) has pursued artistic endeavors since a very early age right here in Cheyenne, starting with music and dance. She earned an A.A. degree in Fine Arts and Humanities from LCCC in 2009 during which, she dove into charcoal drawing, watercolor and acrylic painting. Later on, after moving "here, there, everywhere and back again", she began creating collages, paper-mâché and finally resin pours and sculptures (with help from fellow artist, Peter Hastings, who has a much better temperament for the patience that resin creations require!)
