In January of 2015 I was commissioned by the Wort Hotel, Jackson Hole, Wyoming to reproduce the original leather paintings installed over the original Silver Dollar Bar. The new paintings were installed in the new Silver Dollar Showroom. The Grand Opening was held May 22, 2015. The project spanned over 30 feet and was installed above the bar. I was able to complete the project in 4 months by focusing entirely on just the paintings! To see all 10 paintings, visit the Leather Paintings page on this site.

Montana Leather Designs held a private show at the Alpina Hotel in Gstaad, Switzerland hosted by Barbara Grimes of Gossamer Wings Santa Fe. It was thrilling to present my work to Barbara’s clientele in Switzerland. My work was accompanied by my close friend Maria Cole, who is of Swiss descent and also speaks Swiss/German. Thank you Barbara Grimes and Maria Cole for making this possible! 1/2/2014
