Profile of artist Stan Slagowski

1942

Between Stan and his wife Celia, just about anything you might need on a ranch can be conjured up. Their steel silhouette entry gates, however, are perhaps their most well-known works of arts. These outdoor scenes featuring animals and riders - drawn by Celia and fabricated by Stan - grace ranches from the northeastern corner of Utah up through Wyoming and into Montana. Their work is known for an attention to detail that brings their well composed scenes to life. Celia, a Colorado native, also builds saddles and makes custom leather tool pouches for local miners, while Stan, who was born just across the border in Wyoming, makes just about anything from metal and still finds the time to train colts and border collies.
