By BUZZY HASSRICK Special to the Enterprise

orn and raised in Cody, Maggie Webster Scarlett has long lived in Jackson, but nourishes a strong connection to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. The Center’s original 40 acres lay near her childhood home and served as her arena, the place where she rode her horse and watched her brothers play baseball. Maggie and her husband Dick support both the museum and the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale. “What’s good for the Center is good for Cody,” Maggie adds. She’s a trustee at the Center. In recognition of their support, the Scarletts are the art show 2014 honored chairs. Western themes serve as the focus for their art collection, and art drives facets of their professional and volunteer interests. The Scarletts attend the show and believe the event generates considerable energy for Cody, benefitting the artists, collectors and community. “It draws in another element,” mainly outsiders, said Dick, adding the show contributes to the entire weekend of events and helps sell the Cody image. While Dick said the show champions established artists, Maggie noted the advantage to emerging artists. “It’s an opportunity to showcase many of them,” she said. Their personal collection comprises primarily contemporary, realistic works. Their first acquisition came when they lived in Denver. “When Dick and I began collecting all those years ago, we purchased a painting of a mountain man by Jim Rey of Durango,” Maggie recalled. “It just appealed to us so much.” The work reflected their love of the mountains and gratified their Wyoming hearts. Their first bronze was the smallest version of Harry Jackson’s “Pony Express.” “That’s all we could afford,” Dick adds. Generally they chose their purchases as a couple, “without planning,” Maggie said. “We’re drawn to it because it’s beautiful and is a reflection of our Western heritage, and we can relate so much to the subject matter.” “I love the relationship with the artists,” added Dick, who enjoys meeting and talking with them. “I appreciate the lifestyle they’ve chosen,” which to him is a challenging one. Maggie said more contemporary styles are starting to attract her, which is natural as a collector’s approach evolves. “We used to almost always agree,” she said. Now, when she suggests a non-traditional work to Dick, he looks at her with puzzlement, “but he’s fairly tolerant.” Two of Dick’s favorites, both by Cody artists, feature the Shoshone Chief Herman St. Clair, for whom his father was a pallbearer. The one by Jim Bama is a “fabulous painting he did years ago,” he said. The other is a portrait of St. Clair by Mike Poulsen that Maggie commissioned. The works of Charles Marion Russell also appeal to Dick. Having grown up on a ranch near Lander with no electricity, a bunkhouse, dirt roofs and three hired cowboys, Dick said Russell’s scenes resonate with him. “I relate to his characters because we had characters on the ranch,” Dick said. Some of the Scarletts’ selections remained with the five Wyoming banks that comprised their holding company. They sold the banks in 2008 and “the art went with the banks,” Dick said. He promoted art acquisition by the banks as an adjunct to advertising and a way to attract new patrons and promote the arts. “People from all around came into the bank to see our collections,” he recalled. “It was a win-win for all of us.” His former Shoshone First Bank in Cody, now Wells Fargo, sponsored a contest during the 100th anniversary celebration of the Shoshone Forest in 1991. It offered a $10,000 prize to “spice up the celebration with Wyoming artists,” Dick said.The jury’s selection of a Dubois painter
Maggie and Dick Scarlett live in Jackson. caused an “uproar,” he recalled. The bank decided to sponsor a second contest, a people’s choice award, which went to Reid Christie of Cody. “I kind of agreed with the uproar,” said Dick, quickly adding, “me personally, not the bank.” Their dedication to art extends to the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, both participating on the museum’s investment, finance and personnel committee. Maggie also heads the advisory board of the Whitney Museum of Western Art. The Scarletts recently created an endowment for the Whitney curator. “Western art – that’s where our love is,” Dick said. Maggie had watched the development on the museum’s land near her home – “the hubbub, the construction” – of the then Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Whitney Gallery of Western Art. “The Whitney has held a special place in my heart,” she said. “Early on I learned to love the Whitney and beautiful art.” After considering a gift to the Center, the Scarletts decided to establish the endowment. “It struck a right note with us,” Maggie said. “It was an opportunity to do something meaningful for us, the Center and the community.” She said her parents, Bud and Lucille, engendered her dedication. “I credit them with much of my passion for the Center and art. They loved the community, and their children picked up on that. “I realize how fortunate I was to grow up in Cody and have a world-class museum in my backyard.” The center is a beneficiary of the art show, which Maggie describes as looking “strong this year. “I predict it’ll be a good and successful event.”

Blake
Texas designer creates exotic coats, jewelry for collection By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor
P
eople can indulge in the exotic when Monty Studio presents its collection as part of the Cody High Style Fashion Show. Joncee Blake, the designer behind Monty Studio, is known for her elaborate designs. She has been selling her jewelry, luxury blankets and coats professionally for more than eight years. Her inspirations include travel, her passion for learning and the history behind the materials she uses. “Being able to be creative is something I’m always inspired by,” she said. “Everything is one of a kind. No two pieces are exactly the same.” Blake’s family has a long history with the Rendezvous Royale. Her father-in-law Buckeye Blake has been a part of the Buffalo Bill Art Show and Sale since the early days and her husband Teal participated last year. In fact, it was while the family was here in 2013 that art show director Kathy Thompson told Blake she should apply for the fashion show. “I’m super excited,” she said. “I got to go last year and see it and liked it so much. It’s fun and I’m happy to be part of it.” She started working on pieces in May when she learned she’d been accepted to the show and then worked all summer. She will show six jewelry pieces and two reversible fur coats. Blake has always enjoyed making jewelry. She uses a great deal of turquoise, pearls, coral and gold in her pieces. “If I have an idea of something I want to make I start collecting pieces,” she said. “Eventually it comes together. Or I may find something that takes me in a totally different direction from what I had in mind.” Blake makes the coats with her mother-in-law Tona. The outside of the coats are made from antique piano shawls, while the inside is mink in turquoise and dark brown colors. A piano shawl is a large square or rectangular piece of fabric used to decorate the top surface of a grand piano. It serves the practical purpose of protecting the piano from nicks, scratches and the elements. Many such shawls are elaborate. “Piano shawls that are big enough to make coats out of are hard to find,” she adds. “We find them at antique shows and they’re embroidered and colorful.” Blake says the color and patterns on the piano shawl determines the style and fit of jacket, as well as the fur to go inside. “Since they’re hard to come by, when I find a material I like I’m thoughtful about how I use it,” she said. “With piano shawls I usually think about it for a few months.” She also designs artisan travel blanks. Materials include vintage military blankets, silks and colorful trims. “My mother-in-law made one years ago for my husband, and I thought it was a good idea,” she said. “I started putting them together for friends. I’ve made many baby blankets – but they’re also something they can use until college. The blankets are exotic, colorful and fun.” Blake studied design at Texas Christian University in Fort Worth, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts. She studied art at the Europaische Kunstakademiin in Trier, Germany. Her background also includes compiling and installing window displays in Portland, sketching, styling, and executing photo shoots for American Airlines and Quorum International, designing and building product catalogs, and apprenticing under a jeweler. Blake, husband Teal and their son Luca live in Saint Jo, Texas.
Joncee Blake is the designer behind Monty Studio. This will be her first year in the Cody High Style Fashion Show.
Blake enjoys using gold, coral, turquoise and pearls in her jewelry.

Downtown street fest showcases Cody art, retail By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor
C
ody’s thriving retail and arts community will be celebrated during the sixth annual Boot, Scoot ’N Boogie on Thursday. The downtown event will be 2-8 p.m. along Sheridan Avenue. “There’s something for everyone and it’s free,” co-chair Doug Nordberg said. “Come down for a stroll and be festive.” Various vendors and merchants are participating in the street festival, which showcases the local art community and area businesses. A variety of artisans including painters, photographers, sculptors, quilters and weavers will demonstrate their talents during the evening. Along with familiar faces, expect to see some new artists and exhibitors displaying their work. Musicians also will be set up in various places. “It’s a good opportunity to let people hear what you sound like and it creates a nice environment,” Nordberg adds. Forty-seven downtown merchants are participating. Most stores will be open during the event and the merchants also will be taking to the streets. The classic car show also will be set up again. “People bring some cool vehicles,” he said. The popular fashion show begins at 6:30 p.m. on the 1300 block and features merchandise from area merchants.
“It’s a great opportunity for people to see what’s new and going to be hot for fall,” he said. “It’s a fun, high energy night.” Unlike past years, when they’ve auctioned artist-decorated boots, chairs and pedestals, there won’t be a fundraiser this year. “There are many fundraisers going on (in the community) so we decided not to do one this year,” Nordberg said. The group is hoping for another night of great weather. “There’s always a risk, so after Sept. 12 we don’t mention the words ‘wind, rain or snow’ because we’re afraid we’ll jinx ourselves,” Nordberg said. After Boot, Scoot ’N Boogie, downtown merchants will begin the Sounds of Sheridan project. They hope to purchase a sound system to be installed on three blocks of Sheridan Avenue. It would be used to play music during the day, as well as for announcements and emergencies. “That way people shopping could have music 12 months a year,” co-chair Jeanne Nelson said. “It’s our goal and we hope to make it a reality in the next few months.” For the latest information check out the Facebook page Boot Scoot ‘N Boogie down main street.

Work displayed Sept. 18-20 By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor
T
he Blue Buffalo Artists seventh annual Cody Art Show will be Sept. 18-20. The show will be upstairs at the Irma Hotel. It will be open 10 a.m.-10 p.m. Thursday and Friday, and 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday. Fifteen artists will have art in this year’s show, which will be displayed in the Irma’s historic rooms on the second floor. Art includes bronzes and paintings. Artists will be on hand during show. “It’s an opportunity to display our art with other professional artists,” Blue Buffalo Artists treasurer Pat Schermerhorn said. “With all the crowds of people that come for the week, it’s a fun time.” The group of visual artists formed in 2008 to network with one another for developing art shows and workshops. “We wanted to display our art during Rendezvous Royale week,” Schermerhorn added. “The Irma liked the idea and let us display in their historical rooms. It’s worked out well.” Their 25 members are from Wyoming, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Arizona, Utah and Washington. In the past year the group added several new Montana shows in Red Lodge, Sydney, Miles City and Lewistown. “We’re trying to get out to do more things,” she said. “We’re also hoping to have a show in Bozeman.” The Cody show is free to the public. “We hope everyone comes to the Irma and sees the show,” Schermerhorn said.

Doug LaMont of Billings is showing two pieces including the table (left) which features a mechanism salvaged from an old piece of woodworking equipment.
Fine furniture maker happy to be part of Cody High Style By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor
A
fter earning degrees and certifications in biology, German and elementary education from Boston State College and Middlebury College in Vermont, Doug LaMont chose to ignore all of that and, instead, launched a career as a maker of fine furniture. “I moved back to this part of the country after attending college in New England, but didn’t have a job so I decided to try to make a go of this,” the Montana native said. He says both New England and Montana serve as “huge inspirations” for his work. “We live in a bold country and that comes across in my designs,” he adds. “I love the landscape and expansion of the countryside, but also how intimate it invites you to be.” LaMont, of Billings, began working with wood as a child. “I’ve always been interested in it,” he said. “My father is an architect, so I picked up some from him too.” He has done commissioned work for many years, but decided to begin entering shows a few years ago. This will be LaMont’s first time as an exhibitor in the Cody show. “Cody High Style has a wonderful reputation and has been an important event in this area for many years,” he said. “I’m excited to take part in it.”
He will be showing two pieces in the show. The first incorporates a mechanism salvaged from an old piece of woodworking equipment. The mechanism provides function for the piece, which tilts, raises and lowers. “The mechanism inspired the design itself,” he said. “Function is a big part of my work. I want people to experience the relationship between design and function.” The table is made with sugar maple, a hard, durable and plain wood. “The wood itself doesn’t distract from the shape of the table,” he said. “It lets the eye pick up the fine detail of the design.” His second piece is more traditional and is designed to hold treasures. It’s made of a highly figured wood stained a darker color. (Figure refers to the appearance of the wood.) “The figure becomes part of the design itself,” LaMont said. He says furniture designs usually recommend a species of wood. “The quality, appearance and durability of a wood lends itself to a piece,” he added. “I like to use a wide variety and don’t have a favorite.” LaMont says he’s looking forward to talking to other exhibitors during the show. “I’m excited to see what other people are doing,” he said. “Being a craftsman is a fairly lonely existence so it’s always nice to share notes.”

Jim Wilcox lives ‘dream’ Artist Jim Wilcox of Jackson will discuss his work during a free program 2-3 p.m. Friday, Sept. 19, at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.

uring his college years, Jim Wilcox spent his summers employed at Jackson Lake Lodge, painting in his spare time and becoming attached to the area. “I didn’t like leaving,” he recalled. The experience proved significant as it led him to realize, “This is where I want to live.” For the past 45 years, Wilcox has lived that dream. He now has a To learn more compound outside Jackson with ready about his art, visit access to the landscape he chose to depict. wilcoxgallery.com “I fell in love with these mountains and wanted to paint them,” he said. “It’s quite a challenge because they’re so complex.” Composed of big slabs, the Wind Rivers are simpler than the Tetons that comprise “broken up, busy rock,” Wilcox explained. Springtime is especially daunting because of the lingering, white patches. “Snow is one of the most fun things to paint,” said Wilcox, who utilizes color, value and shape to interpret its subtlety. “The undulations in the surface tell you what’s going on underneath.” Wilcox credits the appeal of mountains to his family. Born in Salt Lake City in 1941, he moved to and grew up in Durango, Colo., at about age 9, “so I consider it home,” he said. During trips with his parents “to look at beautiful things,” he developed his love of landscape, a love that grew through the years. In Durango’s public schools at the time, there was no art past eighth grade. In high school, Wilcox used his drawing skills to twice enter a Fisher Body Corp. design contest for a dream car. Though the grand prize of $5,000 went to another, he did garner small rewards both years. In college Wilcox wanted to major in design, but it wasn’t offered at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. “So I chose art,” he said. “I’d drawn all my life, but painting was new. I loved it.” Wilcox discovered he preferred realism, noting in the BYU art program “there were some teachers there who actually taught.” To him, actual teaching meant learning the basics not, as some faculty insisted, putting emotions on the canvas. “If it looks like something recognizable, you failed,” Wilcox recalled. “I was more classical. That was what I was interested in.” With his college degree, Wilcox decided to pursue teaching while Jim Wilcox he developed his reputation as Art show an artist and opted “to have an honored artist adventure.” Harboring a soft spot for the Northwest, he applied for the many jobs available there and chose a Seattle high school. “I was young and cheap, so I was able to pick my spot,” he says with a chuckle. From Seattle the Wilcoxes moved to Jackson in 1969, when only a few galleries existed. They saw a rent sign in what he described as a “dowdy”

Throughout the years they’ve moved to various locations and now have a store in town plus property north of Jackson, which Wilcox describes as a “destination gallery.” It comprises a roomy home, two studios and a display area with works by about 40 artists. Of his seven children, Wilcox said “three and a half work for us.” One has a part-time job elsewhere. The “us” includes Narda, his wife of 48 years, “someone we couldn’t do without,” he added. “She’s a woman who’s absolutely amazing.” From the compound, Wilcox enjoys a view of the National Elk Refuge with Sleeping Indian Mountain looming in the background, the subject of his current 4x6-foot canvas. Landscape dominates his work, a reflection of the artist’s credo: in New York City, paint faces; in the Wind Rivers on a horse, paint pack trips. On his outdoor painting journeys, Wilcox totes the Soltek easel he designed during eight years – “I wouldn’t use anything else.” He says it’s easy to use, wind resistant, versatile, touch-adjustable and lightweight, holds canvases up to 32 inches high and features telescoping legs that automatically lock and fully retract. As much as he loves the mountains, however, Wilcox finds he’s not exploring them as often as he’d like. “Every year I want to spend more time in the high country. “And every year the summer runs by, and I haven’t been much.”

Lebsock Life-changing event led to creation of bags By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor
W
hen Debbie Lebsock went through a lifechanging event five years ago she was looking for something to keep herself busy. So she started sewing bags. “I was trying to deal with what I was going through in my mind and looking for something to keep my head in a good place,” she said. While reading self-help books the words “mercy” and “grace” kept popping out – and Mercy and Grace Designs was born. Lebsock’s bags are made one at a time, blending up-cycled, reclaimed materials including vintage and antique fabrics, deadstock materials (unsold, never worn or remnant scraps), vintage horse tack and miscellaneous vintage pieces. “They all have their own personality and all are oneoff bags,” Lebsock said. “I don’t reproduce anything. If you carry one of my bags you’ll never see another like it.” An old pair of chaps, a doctor’s bag and a bowling ball bag all have been used in her creations. She also loves to work with different textures. “I lean heavily toward ‘Western boho chic,’” she said. “Seventy-five percent of my bags have fringe on them.” The majority also are cross body style and include a free fitting to make sure the strap is the proper length. The straps are mainly made from vintage belts and horse tack. “Because of the nature and the age of some of the material, you have to treat the bag as a piece of wearable art,” she adds. “Some of the vintage pieces can be delicate, so some special care must be taken.” Lebsock’s passion for the fashion industry started as a young girl making clothes. Through the years it grew stronger. She created several successful businesses including a trendy boutique and a funky consignment store. The idea for her first bag came after she’d seen a bag in Texas and fell in love with it. “I couldn’t get it out of my mind,” she said. “I tried to duplicate it and that’s where my first bag came from.”
Debbie Lebsock of Cody will be showing eight of her one-of-a-kind bags during the Cody High Style Fashion Show.
If you carry one of my bags you’ll never see another like it. Debbie Lebsock
Mercy and Grace Designs
She does not use patterns but, rather, “lets the material I find speak to me. “I’m a junker at heart,” she said. “My first store was an antique store, so stuff finds me.” From Cave Creek, Ariz., Lebsock came to Cody this summer to visit friends and rented a studio. “I love the vibe here,” she said. “I’d like to stay, but cold weather may drive me out.” She approached the Cody chamber about being in the Cody High Style Fashion Show. She will be presenting eight bags, although she has finished 35 in the seven weeks she’s been here. Each bag takes 10-16 hours. “I’m honored to take part,” she says. “I’ve done a few shows. I’ve worked hard and come a long way.” Her designs for the show incorporate pelts, vintage Navajo rugs, Western belts, sterling silver, turquoise, mink and Pendleton blankets. “You name it and I put it on a bag,” she said. Lebsock also will have a booth during the Boot, Scoot ’N Boogie. “I’ll have some higher end bags and some that are more affordable for the working gal.”

Vieira
High-end leather tooling on display during exhibition
By AMBER PEABODY Special sections editor
F
or 24 years Trajan Vieira has been in the business of making high-end, custom tooled leather products. This year Vieira’s talent will be on display during the Cody High Style Exhibition, where he will be showing a pair of boots. “I’ve said no (to the show) so many times that I thought I better say yes or they’d quit asking me,” he said. “The boots are something I’ve had in the works for a while and it was a good opportunity to get it done.” The boots are a traditional style Western cowboy boot with a quarter box toe that tucks under. The tops are Italian kangaroo leather and the boot features a great deal of leather tooling detail. “These boots look like 1940s or ’50s cowboy boots,” he adds. “I have more than 100 hours in them.” Vieira’s leather career began at age 14 when he started building saddles at his dad’s shop in California. After college he worked for other saddle shops around the West. “I built my way up to become a high end leather guy,” he said. “I use many exotic materials.” These include American alligator, Nile crocodile and Italian kangaroo. “They’re fun leathers that are hard to find and look great,” he said. “Europe still has a vibrant homemade shoe industry and much of my best leather is found there.” Italian kangaroo leather is his favorite medium. It comes in a variety of colors, but the majority of his projects are earth tones like rusted browns and blacks. Vieira also began building belts when he started his business. “No one wanted to and it’s an easy thing to do,” he said. He eventually teamed with Bohlin Co. which makes buckles. “It worked out well,” Vieira said of the pairing. “The folks we sell to expect high level stuff. The belts are more than just two pieces of leather. I use extravagant, exotic materials that are not something you find everywhere and there’s a great deal of hand tooling.” While he focused mainly on saddles and belts in his early years, he began making boots about seven years ago. “The transition to boots came about because my business changed,” he added. “It wasn’t about saddles anymore. But people couldn’t get enough of my fancy belts. I thought the customers buying belts didn’t want saddles, but would enjoy boots.” He said his favorite part of making boots is the challenge they present. “Each project is different and no two pair of boots is the same,” Vieira said. “I enjoy the complexity of making and completing each pair.” He currently uses a traditional Napoleon style for his work. “It’s been an evolving process and continues to develop every year,” he said. “Something I made 10 years ago is so different from what I do today.” He says unlike metal or stone, leather is an unforgiving medium. “You’re trying to achieve a certain level of detail that the material doesn’t lend itself to,” he said. “You could be working on the last step and, if you scuff the leather, the boot is ruined because you can’t refinish leather like wood or metal. “It’s nerve wracking.”
Trajan Vieira of Cody has been making boots for about seven years.
