Nicole Gaitan is a self-taught artist who
has been painting for as long as she can
remember. While attending the University
of California at Santa Cruz she studied
the History of Art and Visual Culture while
working summers at Horizon Fine Art
Gallery in Jackson Hole, WY. Her undying
affection for art continues to guide her
career path to new and exciting heights.
For Gaitan, contrast is the primary focus,
whether that is expressed in expansive
color pockets or complex punctuations.
She has been exhibiting her work for
over ten years in galleries, solo
exhibitions, public art displays and
festivals. Gaitan's work is collected
across the United States and abroad
and she has been commissioned
by the Orvis Company, featured in
publications like Western Art Collector
and has won numerous awards for her art.
You can find her work in Jackson Hole,
WY at her private studio by appointment,
Park City, UT at Pando Fine Art on Main
St., Vail, CO at Paderewski Fine Art,
Nashville at The Sportsman Gallery,
San Diego, CA at Adelman Fine Art
and in a select number of shows
she attends across the country
.

Pepion has been creating some form of art his entire life but says he decided to pursue an art
career in 2009.
"I like to create an art mixture using ink, colored pencil, and ledger paper," he says. "I create art
based on my experiences, family stories, and Blackfeet culture. I like to do warrior art and love
birds – redwing blackbirds and magpies are my favorites."
Cody Kuehl, a Western Art Week newcomer, traveled from Longmont, Colo., to bring his unique
