Old & New Mixing traditional Western and wildlife art with modern pieces can create a more interesting collection and interiors. // By Maggie Theodora “I see a movement away from art that’s expected in a home, either in tone or style,” says Chad Repinski, director of Jackson’s Diehl Gallery. “Collectors are shunning the idea of ‘matchy-matchy,’ which can free them to install art that stands on its own.” In Jackson Hole, this movement away from the expected and matchy-matchy means collectors and homes that increasingly blend traditional wildlife and Western art with contemporary/modern art and aesthetics. Twenty years ago, traditional Western…

In the Raw Although we’re 1,000 miles from a coast, Jackson Hole takes its sushi seriously. // By Helen Olsson In the 1970s, a sushi bar named Osho opened in Los Angeles, catering to Hollywood celebrities. Over the next few decades, sushi grew in popularity, but most people wouldn’t touch a spicy tuna roll in a landlocked state with a 10-inch chopstick. Today, Jackson Hole’s robust array of sushi offerings debunks the myth that you can’t get amazing sushi anywhere but in coastal cities. Global aviation and improved refrigeration technologies continue to decrease the time from boat to plate. Fish purveyors…

Wyoming Wine The grapes come from California, but Jackson Hole Winery does everything else to make its award-winning wines in a barn in Wilson. // By Helen Olsson  During college at Sonoma State University, Anthony Schroth took a wine business class that required an internship. Stomping grapes at a Napa Valley winery planted the seed for an audacious idea: to start a winery at an elevation of 6,229 feet on his family’s 17-acre property in Jackson Hole. “I knew I wanted to have my own label,” Schroth says. The property’s 100-year-old dairy barn with Grand Teton views, he figured, would…

Form & Function Landscaping with native plants is good for the ecosystem and can be beautiful. // By Jim Mahaffie When Frances Clark, an avid gardener, moved to Wilson from New England, she found Wyoming’s plants and terrain completely different. Rather than planting what caught her eye at a local nursery, like lavender or echinacea, or what grew for her in New England, like hydrangeas or flowering crabapples, she spent years hiking to see local wildflowers and learning about them. And then she planted her gardens and yard with species she knew from the local landscape. Jackson Hole, and the…

460 Bread This Driggs-based bakery mixes ancient traditions with local ingredients and high-tech equipment. // By Sue Muncaster When I asked my two visiting grandnieces (two- and five-years-old) what they wanted from the supermarket, they both shouted “raisin bread!” They didn’t know this, but my neighborhood market, Victor Valley Market, stocks amazing raisin bread, courtesy of Teton Valley-based 460 Bread. But raisin bread is among 460 bread’s most popular loaves, so heading there from my home, I hoped there was a loaf left. There was. Back at home, I slathered toasted slices with butter. When the girls headed home a…

A National Treasure Steady in its mission, the National Museum of Wildlife Art continues to adapt and evolve to meet modern demands for accessibility, diversity, and excellence. // By Rachel Walker Rising from the hillside only a few miles north of Jackson’s Town Square, the National Museum of Wildlife Art blends into the landscape so seamlessly that it could be easy to miss. The museum’s driveway is marked with five bronze elk and an unassuming sign, and the building, clad in Idaho quartzite and inspired by the ruins of Slains Castle in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, only peeks out over the hillside.…
