We are thrilled to unveil our official 2026 artwork. Each year WSFF works with an artist to create a piece that embraces the spirit of Wild & Scenic, the theme, and sets the tone for the year.
For the first time ever we’ve
reengaged with a previous WSFF poster artist, Jeremy Collins, who also created the artwork from our 2016 poster.
Jeremy is a multifaceted artist, climber, and adventurer whose work intertwines the grit of the wild with a mastery of visual storytelling. Known for his breathtaking illustrations and striking narratives, Collins captures the raw beauty and intensity of the natural world through his art and prose. As a climber, his daring ascents in some of the world’s most remote and challenging locations have shaped both his work and worldview, fostering a deep connection between him and the rugged landscapes he immerses into.
Collins’ work invites us to understand the challenges and struggle of wilderness and ourselves, sparking a deeper appreciation for both the environment and the human spirit’s capacity to endure. His complex, cerebral, and whimsical drawings and maps have been featured in books, films, and commercial work. From the cover of National Geographic to his award-winning book Drawn: The Art of Ascent, and Earth Almanac, Collins is a bottomless well of inspired expression. Collins’ latest book Eventually a Sequoia: Stories of Art, Adventure & the Wisdom of Giants is an inspirational and vivid exploration of the natural world and how it can empower an individual to grow, change, heal, and thrive.
