John P. Finley: John’s work is as diverse as the land where he grew up. As an authentic cowboy artist, his ideas come from those western Wyoming landscapes and they often express the cowboy’s place in his everyday life. His life as a cowboy and years as a big game hunting guide provide the inspiration for his work. He paints, sculpts and carves the fleeting spirit of the West.

Horses are a favorite subject and Jane also accepts commissions for animal portraits. Working in watercolor and oil, her style is traditional realism. She works in her studio and occasionally in plein air to stay fresh and capture the essentials of a scene.
Karen Henneck: I have always loved the Western landscape. I live in Casper, Wyoming where the air is fresh and clean and the sun shines almost every day. Casper is backed by a mountain and the North Platte River runs through town. Minutes away are cattle ranches, streams, bluffs and prairies. Pastels with their brilliance and depth of color are what I use to capture these beautiful scenes. My husband and kids are avid fishermen, but I follow them along the river with an easel and a box of pastels instead of a fishing pole! Journey with me as I share the expansive Wyoming landscape with you through scenes in pastel, colored pencil florals and the children's books I have written and illustrated.

Molly Moore: An award winning artist and photographer. Molly’s paintings, drawings, and photographs capture not only the stunning beauty of Wyoming and the West, but the souls of the wild animals she portrays from her real life experiences. Horses, too, both wild and domesticated, have found their way from Molly’s palette to the canvas, which have been shown all over the West.
In a typical year, Molly divides her time between creating in her Dubois, Wyoming studio, and exploring the outdoors observing wildlife to expand her collection of reference material. As a member of the Teton Plein Air Painters group, Molly also paints outdoors at choice locations in Teton National Park throughout the summer months.
