Zach Even    Zach’s passion for nature developed in childhood growing up in Green River, Wyo. In spacious Wyoming, Zach learned to tie flies, hike and climb mountains, hunt with a bow or modern firearm, and enjoy a hearty meal with good friends over a campfire. As a teen, he tucked notepads into his pack to sketch what he saw, satisfying a desire to connect with a natural world we often are disconnected from. So it was natural for Zach to transform these snapshots to canvas.

His talent landed him a job as a graphic designer for the outdoor retailer Cabela’s, where his paintings and sketches attracted the attention of company executives when they were looking for artwork to adorn catalog covers. Zach’s eye-catching painting of a trout filling up on nymphs earned him the coveted cover of the annual fly fishing catalog. And his rendition of a pronghorn buck was selected by Nebraska’s Game and Fish Commission for use on the Nebraska Habitat Stamp one fall. 

Zach continually pushes himself to refine his skill.  His work holds the viewer’s eye because of its unique perspective, emotion, clarity, color, detail and even humor; his paintings and sketches truly capture an authentic moment in time. 

Tom Lucas    A Wyoming artist, Tom Lucas has dedicated the past forty years engaging in his pursuit of painting distinctive western art.
