    Bryce Giesmann
    "Bryce Giesmann is a retired full-time Art Educator and Yearbook Advisor who has transitioned into a dedicated artist career after 20 years in education. Originally from Waverly, Iowa, Bryce holds a BA in Fine Arts with a Minor in Education from Luther College in Decorah. His early artistic journey was marked by a focus on oil landscapes, reflecting a deep connection to semi-abstract painting techniques.

    Bryce's artistic practice took a significant turn when he moved to Wyoming and began grappling with clinical depression. To navigate this challenging period, he turned to photography, a medium that swiftly evolved from a hobby into a profound obsession. This new creative direction led him to pursue an MFA in Photography from the Savannah College of Art and Design, which he completed in 2019.

Though there were no clouds to for the sunset I had hoped for, the colors of the sun setting over the red rock were amazing.
