He teaches in the Environmental and Natural Resources Law Program, serves on President Nichols’s Advisory Committee on Native American Affairs, and writes mainly about transboundary water law and policy, particularly relations over water among federal, state, and tribal sovereigns in the American West. A native of Salt Lake City, Utah, Jason came to UW in fall 2013 after completing his Ph.D. in law (S.J.D.) at Harvard University, where he focused his dissertation on the labyrinthine body of laws governing water allocation and management in the Colorado River Basin—i.e., the “Law of the River.” A great admirer of Wallace Stegner and Bernard DeVoto, Jason has the honor of serving as lead editor for the multi-author volume being produced for the sesquicentennial of the 1869 Powell Expedition—tentatively entitled, Vision and Place: John Wesley Powell and Reimagination of the Colorado River Basin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1510331702072-5J2V8Q9CCET0FNQJRVBS/20171026-DSC_7094.jpg Who We Are - Tom Minckley, PhD, UW Geology and Geophysics Tom Minckley is an Arizona native who is a self-admitted desertphile. He is an expert on environmental change in the arid West. He is interested in applying lessons learned by studying the history of ecological resilience of the western landscapes to conservation issues of the present. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1510332199237-ZTIJQ4BW8OAXPMXVASBM/20171026-DSC_7124.jpg Who We Are - Benjamin Kraushaar, MA, UW - Geography Benjamin kraushaar grew up in southwest Colorado, an area rich in public land access and recreational opportunities. From the desolate deserts of Canyonlands to the rugged ridges of the San Juan Mountains, the unique geography of the southwest influenced Ben’s decision to pursue a life in the outdoors. Ben received a B.S. in Environmental Geology from Fort Lewis College in 2008 and has since worked as a Land Surveyor, Hydrologist and freelance photographer. Now, Ben is at the University of Wyoming and is pursuing a MA in Geography and Water Resources. He will use the raft trip as a means to communicate both social and environmental issues that pertain to the Colorado River Basin. He will harness the power of visual arts and social media networks to engage communities before, during, and after the trip. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1510332305205-KO28A8TFP3KQM5465H2N/20171030-DSC_7169.jpg Who We Are - Patrick Kikut MFA, UW Art Patrick was raised in a small beach town in Southern California. He left in 1987, earned a BFA from the University of Colorado then went on to earn his MFA from the University of Montana. Currently he is living in Laramie, painting and teaching at the University of Wyoming. Themes in his work often come from extensive highway travel. Patrick explains, "Traveling allows me access into compelling landscapes, stories, and cultures. These things help me gain an understanding of the West and drives the work I produce in the studio." Kikut's work is included in the collections of The El Paso Art Museum, The Missoula Art Museum, and The University of Wyoming. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1510332894022-N1IHHSNTNH3W6XVYZ6NN/20171026-DSC_7089.jpg Who We Are - William Gribb, PhD, UW Geography Dr. William Gribb's research concentrated on the legal and spiritual definitions of land base and land use. His interests were in the location and distribution of resources, and the management techniques used to utilize and conserve those resources within the cultural context of Native American heritage and spiritual perspectives. From the launch at Expedition Island in Green River, WY to the Gates of Lodore, “Gribb” regaled us with stories about history and science and was an integral member of the crew. Dr. Gribb passed away in July 2020 due to complications with cancer treatment and recovery. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1510332954530-7YGCGYQ5KF3B7AILP44O/20171026-DSC_7104.jpg Who We Are - David Jones, MFA, UW Art David Jones, originally from Augusta, Georgia, received his BFA in sculpture from the University of Georgia in 2000. For the following year he resided in Birmingham, Alabama where he worked in the Sloss Metal Arts Artist-in-Residency program casting iron before going on to pursue his masters degree. In 2004 he received his MFA in sculpture from the University of Tennessee. After graduate school, he moved to the Rocky Mountain West in Laramie, Wyoming. The western landscape has proved to be a significant influence that has surfaced in the aesthetic and themes of Jones’s work over the last thirteen years. This influence has helped to form three distinct bodies of work that defines his studio process. In addition to working in the studio, Jones has began to expand his creative process to working outdoors in sites such as the Center for Land Use Interpretation in Wendover UT, and the Red Desert region in southern Wyoming. David actively exhibits nationally, but more prominently throughout the intermountain west in cities such as Denver, Colorado and Santa Fe, New Mexico. David is currently on faculty in the Visual Art Department at the University of Wyoming as an Instructional Art Technician. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1510331982450-TZHKMSRTZDIU33X0TF5U/20171026-DSC_7079.jpg Who We Are - Rica Fulton, MA, UW Geography Rica Fulton grew up in Southwest Colorado and loves exploring desert rivers and mountains. Stemming from this passion for the outdoors, she received a BA in Environmental Studies and GIS from Fort Lewis College in Durango Colorado in 2014. After working for two years at a Geospatial firm in Portland, Oregon, a perpetual passion for the Colorado River brought her back to the Colorado River Basin.

Originally from Flagstaff, Arizona, her explorations around visual imagery stem from aridity in the desert, watersheds, and contemporary ecological patterns in site-specific locations, especially in relation to native and non-native plant species. Aitchison is interested in generative collaborative processes and has worked with conservationists, scientists, and other artists to create projects that span beyond an individual studio practice. Most recently, she participated in a residency at the Santa Fe Art Institute, where she carved, printed, and built a wooden drift boat with imagery related to the San Juan River watershed in Utah. Aitchison is an Instructor at Brandeis University and the Rhode Island School of Design. She holds a B.A. from Colorado College in studio art (environmental studies minor), and an M.F.A. in printmaking from Rhode Island School of Design. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1522450597471-K9BOD5Y2QEDRQT5H2WYD/Keiter+Pic+%28replacement%29.jpg Vision and Place - Robert B.

Traveling has allowed me access to compelling landscapes, ecologies, histories, and cultures. These things help me gain an understanding of the West and drive the work I produce in the studio. I work from field drawings and with the intention to offer a sense of the poetry and reality of the expansive spaces I find between our protected National Parks and Forests. It is important for me to include representations of our ever-encroaching culture onto these landscapes. During my travels, I seek out locations that read like an empty stage set, where all the actors have left their props and abandoned the scene. This, I hope, offers the viewer an opportunity to step into the image and engage in a regional narrative that reflects the residue of our idyllic pursuit of Manifest Destiny. As I look forward to my roll as SCREE lead artist, I will continue to research John Wesley Powell’s life and sound recommendations to Congress as well as the life and work of painter Thomas Moran. Although I have had a deep interest in both men, SCREE is an opportunity to delve deeper into their work and will inform my response to the contemporary challenges regarding land and water use. I imagine this once in a lifetime, 90 day, expedition will have an enormous impact on me as a person and an artist. It is difficult to imagine exactly how this impact will manifest in me but I hope to be humbled as a person and empowered as an artist. I plan to, like Moran, work on field drawings alongside other artists, and scientists and produce a series of work that visually connects the less celebrated upper Colorado River basin to the more popular Canyon Lands and Grand Canyon sections. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a04b0646f4ca3f9491edafe/1522162477560-7YWOMQNNLB08MM9C3OYU/headshot.jpg Vision and Place - Amorina Lee-Martinez Amorina Lee-Martinez is a Ph.D. student in environmental studies at the University of Colorado, Boulder, where she is completing her graduate work with Patty Limerick.
