Raven Jayne
Raven Wind Jayne was born in Nederland, Colorado in 1997. Growing up in Boulder, she was accustomed to spending much of her childhood in the mountains at her grandparents house, or outside in any way she could.

Currently, she is a practicing anthropologist researching primate feeding ecology and often uses her artist background to inform her research and understanding of primate behavior.

Denzel’s interpretation of land has been largely influenced by his years spent traveling the world as a bike racer. “Whether I’m riding for hours into the mountains away from the noise of the city or exploring some new trails, it’s at these times I feel most connected to the land because it’s just me in the environment.”
Karen Rojas Meza
