The Studio of Greg Beecham

Dubois, Wyoming, is billed as one of the last Old West towns in the country. Its Chamber of Commerce web site touts its charm as a “gem with that frontier feeling. Far from everything, and the center of everything.” The town, nestled in the foothills of the mountains, is an hour away from Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks, just over the scenic Togwotee Pass highway.

Greg Beecham has called this enchanting Western town home since 1997, when he and his family moved to Wyoming from Washington State. Initially, when they purchased the home, he thought a small room off the back of the garage behind the house would work just fine as his studio. Au contraire. After outfitting it, he realized the space was too small to accommodate his paintings and the business end of being an artist.
