We’re excited to collaborate with @galleryeastexhibits to feature @darahartmanceramics’s work in “Kaleidoscope,” on view through November 6.

The exhibition is inspired by the kaleidoscope—a toy through which viewers see shifting shapes created by light. Dara’s ceramic installation pieces similarly reveal evolving forms and patterns, transforming with the changing light and shadows of their environment.

All artwork by Dara Hartman is available for acquisition through Modern West Fine Art. Contact us at info@modernwestfineart.com with all inquiries. by @modernwestfineart

Such an amazing night celebrating Heidi Redd and her book, “A Cowgirls Conservation Journey: Stories from the Dugout Ranch.”

Heidi is a legendary Utah rancher, adventurer, and conservationist who, since 1967, has operated the historic Dugout Ranch. In 1997, she partnered with @nature_utah to bridge traditional cattle ranching with large-scale land preservation. We were honored to host her for an artist discussion and book signing.

During his artist residency at Dugout Ranch, @kevinkperry found inspiration in the landscape Heidi Redd has dedicated so much of her life to preserving. In gratitude for Heidi’s dedication to land, @dianestewart was honored to gift her “Perennial,” an homage portrait of Heidi by Kevin.

Her books are still available at the gallery, come get one before they’re gone! by @modernwestfineart

Inspired by nature, @woodyshepherd occasionally returns to the tradition of painting en plein air, working outdoors and taking in the landscapes around him. His large scale mountain scenes, loose brushstrokes, intricate layers, and bold color choices draw on art historical traditions but are reinterpreted through a distinctively contemporary lens.

@mike_yting addresses our reliance on screens and technology with his minimalist sculptures. Drawing inspiration from early video game aesthetics, he reimagines everyday objects into seemingly digital replicas.

We’re excited to collaborate with @nehma_usuart to feature Mike’s work in “Pixalted,” an exhibition that spans across Utah State University’s campus.

Mark your calendar for October 21st at 12:15pm to learn more about Mike’s practice during his artist walk-and-talk. You don’t want to miss this event! by @modernwestfineart

@mx.angelaellsworth_studio’s “Seer Bonnet XXX (Desdemona)” has found a new home @nehma_usuart, where it is featured in the current exhibition, “The Lure and Lore of the West.” We’re happy to see this evocative work become part of a larger conversation about the stories, myths, and histories of the American West.

Stay tuned for more works we’ll be receiving by Angela Ellsworth at Modern West! by @modernwestfineart

@billyschenckart’s work is instantly recognizable, even before you’ve seen the whole painting. His choice to place colors side-by-side or blend them together creates a distinct look, making every detail unmistakably his.
