The SPCR Artist in Residence program is a 10-day road trip residency through Wyoming State Parks. The Rowswells will be visiting the following parks: 

Curt Gowdy State Park: September 20-23, 2025

Guernsey State Park: September 23-25, 2025

Glendo State Park: September 25-27, 2025

Seminoe State Park: September 27-29, 2025

The artists will be identified at each location with a SPCR feather flag on display. They welcome you to stop by, say hello, and see their artwork in action. Standard day-use fees will apply at each location. Additionally, the residency will conclude with a free and public exhibit at the Wyoming State Museum from November 7, 2025, through December 19, 2025.  

Two artists—together! That’s been the theme of Dave and Georgia’s life for the past 41 years. Georgia is a self-employed studio artist, and Dave is a retired high school art teacher. Their studio and gallery space, Blue Door Arts, is located in the heart of downtown Cheyenne. 

Although the Rowswells pursue different media and subject matter, they’ve always enjoyed co-creating and bouncing ideas off one another. Wyoming has been a deep well of inspiration since moving West in 2008. Dave and Georgia share their passion for the visual arts through creating, teaching, and participating in a variety of events across the state. They have had many opportunities to meet new faces, visit new places, and enjoy the wide open spaces of their “small town with long streets.” 

The SPCR Artist in Residence program is part of Arts in the Parks, a collaborative initiative supported by the Wyoming Arts Council and Wyoming State Parks, both programs within the Wyoming Department of State Parks and Cultural Resources (SPCR). This program aims to provide opportunities for Wyoming artists while also showcasing our state's beautiful landscapes.
