AMY IRISH
(MARCH 2023)

"I feel blessed to have grown up and lived the majority of my life in Wyoming. The diverse range of landscapes found here from high desert plains, towering mountain tops, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking skyscapes have always been a source of inspiration to me as an artist. Places like Vedauwoo represent my sense of place because it is a landmark of being close to home."

"I have been fortunate to have lived and traveled to many places in the world. My artwork features an eclectic style utilizing a range of mediums including oil paint, printmaking, pastel, and watercolor. My approach to art comes from recognizing a variety of  styles, thereby creating art from combining the influence of playful surrealism, a touch of abstract expressionism, old world realism, art nouveau, and fantasy."

"The dominant theme expressed overall is a strong connection to nature and color translated into landscapes, animals, figures, water, and flowers. Water is a recurring subject in my artwork due to an intrigue by the challenge of capturing the never ending motion and flow of water as a life force, and for the serenity and peacefulness wondrous watery places evoke in the human spirit and imagination. Celestial images of the moon, heavens, and the goddess surface in my art frequently as a statement of my femininity and spiritual journey in this world. Cats, whether domesticated or wild, are ever present in my art, because of a personal affliction and love for all that is feline."

KRISTY JOHNSON
(FEBRUARY 2023)

"Success isn't found in the moment we reach the end goal, it’s found in those moments of failure along the way -- the detours that encourage innovation, change and benefit us with a more profound understanding."

"With this in mind, my recent practice focuses on freeing myself from my own confining goals and expectations allowing curiosity and playfulness to direct my creative methods. Through trial and error and a continual reset from my default need for control, I find each piece emerges with its own unique mood, style and characteristics."

"Keep curious. Keep playful. Keep growing."

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.”

MIKE WALLACE
( JULY 2022)

Blue Raven Brewery had the pleasure of displaying the photography of Mike Wallace during the month of July in 2022, which was truly astounding to behold. When asked, "How would you describe yourself and your art?" BRB's July artist responded, "Mike Wallace - His head is massive, he's kinda fat, and he likes to document pretty stuff." We knew then that Mike had the perfect sense of humor to fit in with our brewery crew!

SHAGGY OF ECLECTIC CAUSE
( PERMANENTLY ON DISPLAY)

"Blue Raven 1" is a gorgeous raven rendering always on display at the Blue Raven Brewery. This piece was designed by Shaggy, the drummer for Eclectic Cause. Shortly after the Blue Raven Brewery opened in May of 2022, and shortly after their performance on Blue Raven's stage, Shaggy came by to give us his first piece of raven art to donate to our walls. Thank you Shaggy!

SHAGGY OF ECLECTIC CAUSE
( PERMANENTLY ON DISPLAY)

"Blue Raven 2" is another amazing raven rendering always on display at the Blue Raven Brewery. This piece was designed by Shaggy, the drummer for Eclectic Cause. After Shaggy donated Blue Raven 1 to the brewery, he came back and asked where the picture was, expecting to see it on our walls. One of the owners had taken it home, so he decided to make us another to hang specifically at the brewery. Now both images are at the brewery displayed side-by-side. Thank you once again, Shagster!

ABIGAIL PECK, CLAIRE McDANIEL, LEAH WELCH
( PERMANENTLY ON DISPLAY)

"Raven Rising" is a painting always on display at the Blue Raven Brewery. This gorgeous piece was painted by Advanced Placement artists at Mat-Su Central School in Wasilla, Alaska, and donated to the Blue Raven Brewery by James and Lisa Hart of Palmer, Alaska. "Raven Rising" was created with a pour painting technique using acrylic, silicone, floetrol, and tempera paints. What was their inspiration? "I painted the front edge of the raven, and they chose the paint colors to pour -- pretty practical!"
