Artist in Residence: Chanel Deroche
2025-08-18 09:00 - 17:00 | Cody Arts, Cody Country Art League | 836 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
We welcome our Artist in Residence to the Cody Country Art League.My name is Chanel Deroche, and I grew up in Cody. I have two great adult daughters, but my one and only granddaughter is the best of all of us. This is what we want!
I have always been creative, maybe as a child with rocks, sticks, and dirt. In high school I took a student choice elective class in art, and I hated it. I failed the class. The rules we had to follow made it stressful for me.
I began making my own art about 15 years ago, and this, all for my own making, is the only time I don’t feel like I have to be perfect. Doing this “Imperfect” art of mine has truly saved my life in desperate times even if I throw my art away. My art, not fine art.
Chanel Deroche.
P.S. I like kindness, dogs, and dirt roads with tunes. I am grateful for this opportunity, and also scared.

Artist in Residence: Ted Richmond
2025-08-21 09:00 - 17:00 | Cody Arts, Cody Country Art League | 836 Sheridan Ave, Cody, Wyoming
We welcome our Artist in Residence to the Cody Country Art League.
Ted has carved fish since 1996 when he began to combine his lifelong interest in fishing and art, by bringing nature indoors through his fishcarvings. Whether he sculpts naturally found wood or a block of tupelo that is sawn on a bandsaw he loves to bring the feeling of the catch or the beauty of a Rocky Mountain trout to the fore by his own hand. “When the eyes go in, the soul of the fish or other animal comes to life and I love to see the expression of the people who appreciate the fish or other creatures. Recreating the excitement of God’s creation for lasting viewing captivates my imagination and drives my creativity.”
Ted uses airbrushed and hand brushed acrylic paints, tupelo, as well as hard and softwood to create realistic life sized sculptures of fish and their habitat as well as raptors and other creatures.
His artistic development centered around woodcarving influences, involvement, and a willingness to have his worked critiqued by judges at shows around the U.S. After membership in the St. Louis, MO and Wichita,KS wood carving clubs he moved to the Kansas City area where he and his wife Terri lived until 2020 when he retired and moved to Cody WY. He has been past President of the Wichita and Kansas City woodcarver’s clubs and was a frequent competitor in woodcarving shows. He has earned Best of Show honors with his fish sculptures in shows in Topeka, KS, Wichita, KS, Grapevine, TX, Rogers AR, and Kansas City, MO. He has competed internationally earning multiple Aquatic Group honors and the People’s Choice Award in 1999 at the National Woodcarving Congress with artists from over 20 countries competing for prizes. Ted earned Second in Interpretive carving for fish at the prestigious Ward Foundation shows in 2001 and 2003, and more recently he has earned Best in World honors at Breakthrough Magazine’s World Taxidermy and Fish Carving Championships in the division of Open Level Natural Finish in 2009, 2011, 2013, 2017, and 2024 as well as Best in Show Overall in 2017 with “Home Delivery”. Locally Ted has earned first place finishes at the CodyArts Annual show in woodcarving category in 2023,2024, and 2025. Additional honors in 2025 were awarded to Ted for his “Westslope Cutthroat” in the form of the Fern Bath award.
