FBT–National Museum of Wildlife Art Chamber Mixer

Come and see us at our first Chamber Mixer

Meet FBT staff and board members at the National Museum of Wildlife Art and get a chance to win one of 10 original artworks in a raffle.

Artworks include:

Forest Bird by Pinedale-based artist Karla Bird. “In the embrace of the Wind River Mountains, nature moves,” Bird says. “Mama Grizzly scratches her back, a red fox half-hardheartedly reacts to pine squirrels, magpies swirl about in the sky, and man explores—leading his pack string into the Wilderness. This is inspired by our summertime day hikes into the Bridger-Teton National Forest from Elkhart Park.”

Wolf Moon, an oil painting on aluminum by Bondurant-based artist Rachel Smith.

Whitebark Pine Cone by Kate Olsen, who is not only an artist, but also the District Ranger for the BTNF’s Pinedale District. This linoleum block printing was carved 2023, and the print pulled in 2025. In the fall of 2022, the Whitebark Pine was listed as “threatened” under the Endangered Species Act. An iconic tree across the Bridger-Teton National Forest, this 5-needle “true pine” is now a federally protected species.

Fear Gives Rise to Courage, an acrylic painting by Farson artist Megan Beavers.

A large-scale embroidery of a mountain landscape by Audrey Burleson, USFS BTNF Executive Assistant (Moose, WY).

Together by Bedford-based Lindsey Paige.

Emily Paige’s framed photograph The Fox.

Julieta Belmont’s The Overland Diaries, a framed photograph.

Wyoming Bluebird House, by Kevin King. The hole on this handmade bluebird house is specifically for Wyoming bluebirds. Store-purchased birdhouses don’t have bluebird-approved holes and the birds will not use them. Maker Kevin did research so that his birdhouses are Wyoming bluebird-approved. He also notches the inside up to the hole like a ladder so the babies can climb up and get out. Extra credit is that the hole is a size that makes it easy for you to clean the house once the birds have left. The goal is for the bluebirds to return the next season and rebuild their nest. Kevin makes all kinds of feeders, robin houses, cake stands, wine racks, swing sets, or anything else you may want.

Teton Village-based artist Elise Mahaffie hasn’t yet shared details about her artwork, but we know it will be amazing.
