Musician Gabriel Larson

Some artists set out to make music. Others are called to it unexpectedly, as if the songs themselves demand to be written. For Gabriel Larson, the turning point came while watching an old western movie in a life far removed from the West. A melody and a line of lyrics arrived fully formed, and alongside them, a realization: “I guess I have to be a musician now.” at moment sparked the creation of Gabriel the Bull, a musical journey rooted in the landscapes, values, and fading way of life in the American West.

For the Bighorn community, Gabriel the Bull o ers something rare: music that feels like it belongs to this land.

Gabriel’s path since has been anything but ordinary. He’s trained wild mustangs, lived and worked on horse ranches, and traveled the West in a small camper, guitar in hand. Many of his songs were written in the saddle, while some on a fouryear-old BLM Mustang in the Big Horn Mountains - shaped by the open sky, the rhythm of hoo eats, and the solitude of the backcountry. His music blends the soul of Spanish guitar with the grit of Western storytelling, weaving in the thunder of the plains and the quiet weight of disappearing values.

What sets Gabriel apart isn’t just his distinctive sound; it’s the honesty that engulfs every song. He doesn’t write for trends or audiences, but to wrestle with questions that have no easy answers. Purpose, meaning, and human struggles run through his lyrics. His work re ects the beauty and hardship of the West, exploring themes that are deeply personal, yet universally human.

For the Bighorn community, Gabriel the Bull o ers something rare: music that feels like it belongs to this land. It’s art born from lived experience, steeped in authenticity, and delivered without compromise. He may not frame his work in terms of “value” or “success,” but perhaps, as Dostoevsky suggested, beauty is reason enough.

Looking ahead, Gabriel states simply “If I’m still doing any of this in ve years, I’ll consider myself very fortunate.” Until then, he’ll keep writing songs that carry the wind, the dust, and the enduring spirit of the West.

Permanent Makeup Paige Pozos

For Paige Pozos, launching Forever Flawless was more than starting a business; it was a mission. A er completing her apprenticeship in a fast-paced, male-dominated traditional tattoo shop, she realized that environment didn’t re ect the professional, empowering experience she envisioned for her predominantly female clientele. “You can’t expect someone’s mother or grandmother to feel relaxed getting a permanent beauty service in a traditional tattoo setting where fun and risk is a big part of the focus,” she explains. So, she created her own space - one where women could feel safe, seen, and beautifully empowered.

More than 13 years later, Forever Flawless is now recognized across the U.S. for expert cosmetic and paramedical tattooing. From natural-looking hairstroke brows to free areola pigmentation for breast cancer survivors, Paige helps women feel con dent in their skin without relying on daily makeup. She travels frequently to her other locations, as well as provides her services as a guest artist for her colleague’s clients. Her specialties include but are not limited to: any style of permanent eyebrow, eyeliner, eyeshadow tattooing, scar camou age, lip blush, and scalp micropigmentation.

“I don’t just apply pigment,” Paige says. “I understand the client’s vision and bring their desired result to life.”

Paige treats her work as a full-time cra , constantly re ning her technique through hands-on practice. She also attends international conventions twice a year, continuing her education with the best names in the industry. “I know how pigment behaves and evolves in the skin over time,” she explains. “ at knowledge helps me give clients lasting, maintainable results.” Combined with her artistic eye, this makes her one of the most sought-a er artists and trainers in the region.

Paige also trains the next generation of professionals, o ering an apprenticeship-style education rooted in real-world experience, science, technique, and ethics. Many of her students go on to build six- gure businesses within their rst year.

Giving back is at the core of Paige’s values. She o ers free services for breast cancer survivors, deep discounts for those undergoing chemotherapy, and restorative tattooing for burn and trauma survivors.

Looking ahead, Paige plans to expand her o erings through virtual training and medical aesthetics, adding skincare therapies and treatments that support a positive self image for women through aging process and cancer/tragedy recovery.

Forever Flawless isn’t about trends; it’s about custom results that make the individual feel amazing, maintaining that over time, and delivering it with deep integrity and compassion.
