ARTS & MUSIC

Christopher Brown, Photographer

(See photo below.)

Christopher Brown's photographs are the result of a unique and intimate relationship with the landscape of the American West. Having been a mountain and river guide for over 30 years, he has walked and rafted to places rarely visited, and has photographed sights seldom seen. His camerawork opens the eyes to see in new ways the subtle colors, sweeping panoramas, and quiet details of this remarkable region.

 

Jeff Wahl, Guitar

Named one of America's best undiscovered guitarists by Guitar 9 Record's online guitar magazine. Often compared to guitarists such as Leo Kottke, Michael Hedges, Joe Pass, and Will Ackerman, Jeff's style ultimately is a blend of many styles that defies categorization. Jeff's live repertoire encompasses the genres of Folk, Jazz, New Age, Classical and even Indian Ragas.


Elizabeth Black

Elizabeth Black worked for many years as a river guide in the Grand Canyon and on other western rivers.  She creates amazing paintings and has won numerous awards. “I paint realistic western landscapes of the places I know best, where I have spent long days gazing at the wilderness. I love depicting beauty. For many years, my paintings have been about the wonder of unforgettable scenes in deep canyons, high mountains, or the secrets of flowing water."
