On this week's episode of the 2022 SEWE Spotlight, Matt and Gus had the privilege of sitting down with none other than Ryan Kirby! Ryan is an wildlife artist that has been creating some amazing artwork over the past several years, one of which is a center piece in Matt's living room. Ryan is an awesome, down to earth family man and outdoorsman. We were very excited to spend some time with him, learn some new things and reminisce on the last time we hung out. 

Check out Ryan and all of his artwork at the links below!
