Mike Whiting uses reduced forms as a statement about our digital age. He questions the impact of technology, social media, and artificial intelligence through his video game-inspired sculptures. We are thrilled to partner with NEHMA in showcasing his work in “Pixelated,” an exhibition that draws attention to the impact of the virtual world on our daily lives.

Learn more about Mike Whiting and the meaning behind his work during his artist walk and talk around USU’s campus tomorrow at 12:15!

All artwork by Mike Whiting is available for acquisition through Modern West Fine Art. Contact us at [email protected] with all inquiries.

We’re excited to collaborate with USU Eastern - Gallery East to feature Dara Hartman’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 [email protected] with all inquiries.

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 The Nature Conservancy in 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, Kevin Perry found inspiration in the landscape Heidi Redd has dedicated so much of her life to preserving. In gratitude for Heidi’s dedication to land, Diane P. Stewart 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!
