Re-Imagine the Past
"Independence Day 1952"
Inspired by historic Jackson Hole, Wyoming. My first visit to Jackson was during the fourh of July weekend. This painting pays tribute to the iconic hotel and my first memories of it.
The Wort Hotel
The inspiration for The Wort Hotel began with Charles Wort, a homesteader who dreamed of opening a luxury hotel in Jackson Hole. In 1917, he bought four lots in downtown Jackson, but it was not until 1941, that his two sons, John and Jess Wort, began construction of the hotel.
The Silver Dollar Bar
The hotel’s famous Silver Dollar Bar, with its 2,032 inlaid 1921 Morgan Silver Dollars, was added in 1950.
Whitney Weidow
Raised in Montana's Bitterroot Valley, Whitney is a fine artist capturing the nostalgia of small-town America. Mentored by western artist Gary Lynn Roberts, she developed a distinctive voice that brings history to life on linen.
A mother of two, Whitney balances family with a deep passion for painting. Since 2021, she has exhibited at the Out West Art Show and Sale—earning the Mayor's Award for Best New Artist—and participates in annual shows at the C.M Russell Museum.
Her work, often selling out, has been featured in Western Art Collector and other notable exhibitions. Whitney is represented by Mountain Trails Galleries in Park City, Bozeman, and Jackson Hole, establishing her place in the western art scene.
