Because we believe in anything that makes our community (be it Jackson or the Northwest) stronger, Snake River Brewing commissions can art from regional artists, designers, and illustrators to adorn our seasonal can labels. Page through our artists below, and see who drew your favorite brew!
Emily Bunnell is a freelance designer and artist living and working in beautiful Cache Valley, Utah with her husband and two dogs. She received a double BFA in Drawing & Painting and Graphic Design, and has since worked as a designer, illustrator, and director in nearly every creative realm. Her favorite work is illustrations, and ideal clients are those who work with social or environmental causes. Emily’s perfect day includes time spent in the great outdoors, kind people, laughing hard, eating something delicious, creating something beautiful, and petting a dog (one of her own, preferably).
Jacob Diaz is an Idaho-based Visual Artist who works in a number of mediums including Printmaking, Illustration, and Photography. Diaz received his BFA in Printmaking from Boise State University in 2015. Drawing strongly from nature, imagination, and early childhood experiences Diaz’s style fuses the philosophical, playful, and introspective fluidly. Diaz currently resides in Boise, Idaho.
Katie Cooney is a printmaker, illustrator, and photographer based in Teton Valley, Idaho. A Wisconsin native, Katie grew up close to nature and has long had dirt under her fingernails and twigs in her hair. With her camera, pens, and paints, Katie invites viewers to immerse themselves in a slice of time, place, and wildness. Her work is easily identified by its delicate mark-making and richness in color and texture. When she’s not art-ing, you’ll typically find Katie in her garden talking to the bees or recreating somewhere in the mountains with Nick the human and Newt the dog.
Erick grew up in Massachusetts, the son of a Teacher and a Designer, and has been making art since he could eat a crayon. After graduating from Colorado College with a focus on painting and printmaking, he moved to Jackson in 2012 to pursue a life in the mountains. He has shown here in Jackson, and in Denver, Colorado, and has enjoyed working at Teton Artlab, the Art Association, and his kitchen table. In addition to printmaking and design, he guides Dave Hansen Whitewater. He enjoys getting into the mountains, onto the river, and the company of good-hearted dirtbags.
Jeremy Collins is an artist, athlete, activist, and author. He also does other stuff that doesn’t start with the letter ‘A’. He is a proud dad, globe-trotting rock climber, and ambassador for Zion National Park. His signature parallel line pen and ink work is often based on his own adventures.
Paul Gorsuch is a professional graphic designer, and amateur musician, who’s managing to pay rent in Jackson (for now). Paul’s forte is digital illustration, but as an aspiring Luddite, he draws inspiration from illustration methods that involve wood blocks or copper plates, and still begins most illustrations in his sketchbook. In his free time, he participates in stereotypical Jackson activities, as well as testing how long he can practice the banjo before his wife kicks him out of the house.
