As a Cody native, I truly understand and appreciate
the importance of the Western Decorative Arts. I am
very excited to present to you the 8th annual Cody
High Style show and personally invite you to attend
the many events going on this week.
Each fall, people travel to Cody, Wyoming
from across the country and around the world
to experience the excitement and energy of a
week-long series of events that celebrate western
style and design. Contemporary ideas and old
traditions complement each other on the fashion
runway and exhibition floor. Workshops, studio
tours, and hands-on demonstrations further the
exploration, learning and sharing of ideas about
what western design is and where it is headed. The
rich history of Cody High Style can be traced back
to Thomas Molesworth, whose designs were the
cornerstone of the unique form of art that is
still prevalent within ranches and homes of the
area today.
The exhibit and sale is a one-of-a-kind pedestal
exhibition for museum-quality functional art. This
invitation only show brings together 20 of the
finest Western-influenced craftsmen from across
the country.
designing the west
In addition to the exhibit, we produce a highenergy runway fashion show presenting western
couture collections from both up-and-coming and
established fashion designers. You will have the
opportunity to purchase items from the runway
immediately following the show.
Cody High Style is hosted by the Cody Country
Chamber of Commerce and is a part of Rendezvous
Royale, a week-long Celebration of Arts in Cody,
including the Buffalo Bill Art Show & Sale, Downtown Street Fair Boot Scoot N’ Boogie, and Buffalo
Bill Center of the West’s Patrons Ball.
We hope you enjoy Rendezvous Royale week
in Cody and make us a “must see” in the many
years to come.

Honored C ody H igh S tyle C o -C hairs
This year’s honored Co-chairs are Carlene Lebous and Harris Haston. The husband and wife team came to Cody in
1997 for a family vacation. That family event was a dude ranch experience at the Hidden Valley Ranch (now the Big
Hat) on the South Fork of the Shoshone. Like so many other visitors, Carlene and Harris were attracted to Cody’s
wide open spaces, spectacular vistas and great fishing rivers. However, it was
the people and their character which cause them to make Cody home.
Carlene and Harris became involved with Cody High Style in 1999 when they
needed to furnish a rented home. They first learned about Western Design
through the annual fall conference where they were able to meet many of the
featured craftsmen. The conference’s source book became their “go to” resource
for learning about various styles and designs and contacting artists. “We not
only bought furniture, we also gained many lasting friendships.”
When asked about the importance of western design, they say “Western style
furniture is recognized, collected and appreciated worldwide. It’s an asset
unique to Cody. We all tend to take for granted that western interior design was
birthed in Cody. Thomas Molesworth’s interpretation of the western character
and lifestyle left a lasting legacy for future generations.”
The couple is passionate about the Cody High Style event. They believe CHS is
an important and unique cultural event which belongs only to Cody. The event
is a central gathering place to learn, buy, see and touch exhibits designed and
crafted by talented western artists and, it’s an opportunity to personally meet
and talk with the artists. It is a tangible and real event, not just something
viewed on a computer screen or magazine page. “It’s a great experience in a
time of a virtual world.”
The best part of CHS for Carlene and Harris is getting to meet and talk with the
artisans, as well as the volunteers. They admire and are amazed at the leadership
and local volunteer support for Cody High Style. They enjoy being part of an event
which enriches and culturally enhances the community.
The long history of the Rendezvous Royale and Cody High Style showcases the heritage, beauty and talented artists
of Cody and the West. Folks who attend the week-long celebration get a chance to indulge their love of Western fine
art and original designed and handcrafted furniture, jewelry and clothing. The event creates a one-of-a kind venue
where patrons and artisans can meet and learn together.
Cody has become home for this couple. Carlene is retired from a career working with individuals experiencing low
vision and blindness, while Harris remains actively involved in his 30-year old Nashville based multifamily business.
Both support and are involved with several community activities, including the Buffalo Bill Center of the West.
And they even enjoy the winters in Cody. That’s when they get a chance to re-connect with friends and neighbors after
a busy summer when everyone’s out hiking or horseback riding or entertaining company. Carlene and Harris have
become good citizens of and true believers in Cody – they voiced the same opinion recently as other locals that, “This
winter has been a little more challenging considering the amount of snow, wind and cold weather we had.” Between
the beautiful yet busy summers and the cold snowy winters, Carlene and Harris are proud to call Cody their home.

“Built
to
Express ”
“
I feel in building my own home it’s like the
largest piece of furniture I’ve ever made and
it was the biggest pallet to express myself.
John Gallis
“
8
What inspired you to begin building
things and how old were you?
9
As a child I was always drawn to building things with
my hands, I started building bird houses and later
to forts in the woods and eventually to furniture. I
find it pleasing to express myself through my hands
more so than using words. I think it wasn’t so much
of whom inspired me but the fact that it was such a
natural form of expression for me.
What was your first piece of furniture
you ever built?
My very first piece of furniture that I built was a
hutch; fresh out of high school no tools, no shop. I
volunteered to work for a woodworker in Coldspring
Harbor, N.Y. I would work for him for 4 hours and
then in turn would use his shop for 4 hours, but
when it was my turn he was using all the tools
I needed to use. I did that for 5 months and
then decided to set up my own shop in my
mom’s garage and worked out of there.
The hutch I built is in my house and is
extremely humbling.
When did you first get the
idea about building your
home?
John Gallis
I started to realize the
empty nest syndrome and
no longer needed a 4 bedroom
3 bath home. I heard the saying
“the new American rich is down sized
and paid off,” so I sold my home in 7
weeks and wintered in Arizona where it
was nice not having to pay a utility bill or
having anything to repair. I was as I called
it homeless for nearly 2 years during that time.
I lived in my shop and saved money for the new
house. It took me nearly a year to do my homework
on heating systems, insulation, passive solar construction, design the home and work out the bugs.
The chance to express myself on a grander scale was
very appealing to the artist in me.
10 Tell us about the process of
building it.
The process, I really didn’t know what I was
doing but managed to find other people that
did. The first was to get my ideas on paper and
then select the right builder to put up the shell.
My youngest son was working for a local builder
who is very good and that was a logical choice. It
not only meant job security for my son but that
my son would be helping build the new house. I
was committed to only using people I knew and
respected to work on the house (good karma)
and I even told them to express themselves in
what they were doing. The excavators brought
some rocks back and asked where I wanted
them. They were amazed when I replied, well
where do you think they should go. He then
responded by explaining you don’t put
one rock down you do odd numbers
and you dig them in a bit so they
appear anchored. It was nice
seeing this bulldozer operator
get excited about what he
was doing. He said no one
ever let him do what he
wanted before. From
there it has been a
continuous project, I
take it day by day and
continue to add on new
elements that represent me
and who I am.
How long has it
taken you?
We broke ground March 2013 and
will still be working on building kitchen
cabinets well into this winter. At first I
thought it would take 4 months and no one
would give me a 4 month lease so I said just
move into the office. I was definitely surprised
about the time, permits and inspections that
were needed.
John Gallis
What do you feel most proud of
when you look at your house?
11
My proudest feeling is that all of this was once in my
head and I was able to extract it and have it all work
out in real life. It also makes me happy to know that
my family has a home to visit me at and to use for the
holidays. Last Christmas the house was filled with
the smells of a home, turkey and apple pie instead of
sheet rock and paint. I am also very proud that the
very first piece of furniture I ever built (the hutch
for my mom) now stands in the home I built many
years later.
What is your favorite part about the house?
EVERYTHING IS SO NEW and when I walk in the
front door I see myself-my personality, my sense of
humor etc. For example, my soap dish will be a
casting of my hand and so will the towel bar. This
way when I’m gone I will still be there. I love the
root based beams and the loft area and all the natural
light that comes in. I also love the in floor heat it is
very efficient and makes my home feel cozy.
What do you look forward to most about
the home upon its completion?
I look forward to having a home again, a family hub
where I can spoil my grandkids in the many years to
come.

JIMMY COVERT First Works
13
In 1959 I was 9 years old and I made this door stop for my mother. My family had moved
into a new house that year and my father had a small workshop with a band saw. My father
was very permissive and generous about letting me play around in his shop, he soon
encouraged me to begin making Christmas presents. I have always enjoyed building and
making things, Lynda and I have been building and collaborating professionally since 1984
but my building endeavors began back in 1959.
14
LYNDA COVERT First Works
My beaded scene is the first piece that Jimmy and I collaborated on. We did it for Jimmy’s
grandmother’s birthday in 1973. Jimmy made the frame out of some scrap weathered wood.
He nailed it together with decorative nails that had come from his grandfather’s belongings.
I have always enjoyed working with my hands and using various textiles and materials. I
work with my basic knowledge and then learn as I go along.
DAN RIEPLE First Works
15
Since the age of about 15 or 16, my dream was to make reproductions of classic pieces
by people such as Chippendale, Hepplewhite and others. My last pseudo Chippendale
reproduction was a four poster mahogany bed (made in about 2002) for my daughter
Erin. It wasn’t long after the bed that I awoke to, and had an appetite for design ideas more
my own. Most certainly these ideas were seasoned with a dash of 17th century masters and
more than a splash of Morris and MackIntosh. One of these original designs came to fruition
in a blanket chest I entitled “launched”. The name was given partly from the design which
seems to incorporate little rockets which support the chest. The other inspiration for the
name was the fact that my other daughter, Lyndsey, was graduating. She was in effect being
launched herself!
16
STEVE WINER First Works
It was the mid 70’s, I had just passed up two great
opportunities, one at the Museum of Fine Arts in
Boston and one in Berkley, mostly because I couldn’t
see myself living in either place at that point in my
life. I was building a custom home with a friend and
had just moved 12 miles east of town to a house on
a farm, adjacent to the house was a vacant 3 room
building with a wood stove which shortly became my
shop. Up to this point I had built numerous small
pieces, picture frames, some inlays, carvings, whatever and whenever I could.
The house and shop sat up on a small rise on the
county road that left you with a fantastic view of the
front range of northern Colorado. I gazed across cornfields, a reservoir, the valley to the foothills, and to a snow
covered Long’s Peak.
Often I would look out and wonder what it must have
been like a 100 years before. Thus came the first piece
in my new shop, a relief carving of the view titled “I
dreamt I saw 1000 Buffalo.” The following year I was
hired to go to Taos, New Mexico to build a corporate
house for a company from Dallas. I closed up house
and shop, loaded tools and the dog and headed south
for six months. After returning to the farm I stepped
away from carving for many years and began designing
and building one of a kind desks, tables, and benches.
Fast forward 30 plus years, and I have a shop that yet
again has a view of Long’s Peak from a different vantage
point. It’s the fourth quarter of the game, I’m not walking
down the middle of the road counting cracks, but there
seems to be no time or place for mediocrity, every new
piece must be better than the last. I must continue to
improve, learn, experiment, and remain passionate.
Most of all, the thing I know for sure is-the best is yet to come!
Pie Not-So-Safe Cabinet
DOUG RICKETTS First Works
17
The year was 1996 and I had grown weary of the
miles of Corian countertops that I had fabricated
along with the truck loads of kitchen cabinets with the white pickling stain. I wanted to make furniture from the cast-off bits and pieces of my region. I made a start with the rusted-out shell of the
’35 Chevy, which for years had lain upside-down in a draw over in our bull pasture. The bulls had
pretty well scattered the front end of the old car down the draw, but it was the very back panel,
with its bullet holes and deep rust and bull-polished patina, that I wanted to showcase.
Once I had the shell back at the shop, I went to work with the cutting torch. Sheet metal, door pulls
and window cranks, combined with barn wood and salvaged house trim, became the “Pie Not-Sosafe Cabinet”. The piece received an outstanding reaction and my first show was a great success.
After that, I was off and running. That old ’35 Chevy showed me that I could create functional art
out of just about anything I was presented with.

SCOTT ARMSTRONG First Works
Photo Credit: Elijah Cobb
This historical piece is a jewelry box that I made for my wife on our 1st anniversary in
1981. I was in college and broke, so I used scrap wood scrounged from the college wood
shop. It is made mostly from maple with inlays of 3 or 4 different hardwoods I don’t
remember what species they are. It was my first attempt at real joinery and inlay and I
am proud to say that, after 33 years, it is still in good shape and being used. It has great
sentimental value, in that it represents both my love for my new wife Suzanne, and my
new found love for wood and wood working.
TRAVIS BUNN First Works
19
I was inspired to make this lamp after I saw one similar in a store in Red Lodge,
Montana. At the time, we could not afford to buy it so I went home and started
making one for my wife.

Scott Armstrong’s work is shaped by his thirty-five years of
artistic and creative living, learning, and working. Growing
up in northern Wyoming nurtured his independent spirit and
love of natural materials. Armstrong received a BFA from the
Kansas City Art Institute and worked eight years as a senior
product designer in the furniture industry. For the past fifteen
years, he has been managing his studio and drawing on his
varied background in order to create
graceful, animated, one-of-a-kind, limited-production, and
commissioned pieces of fine cabinetry and furniture. Says
Armstrong, “I use solid woods for strength and figured veneers
for their rare beauty and ecological benefits, and, then, add a
touch of inlay for fun.”

Al Boswell
Springfield, Missouri ■ 417.865.3606
www.boswellcustomfurniture.com
For Al Boswell, designing and constructing quality furniture
is challenging and gratifying. “I especially enjoy building
solid, comfortable chairs mainly because I enjoy lazily sitting
in them for extended periods of time. I think a great chair is
one you don’t realize you’re sitting in.” Al, a retired large
animal veterinarian and fourth generation Ozarkian, feels
fortunate that his passion and vocation are one in the
same. “There’s joy and magic in working with a medium
like wood. The satisfaction it gives me is hard to verbalize.”
Al’s designs feature simple lines allowing the wood to be
the focus of attention. His furniture features quality wood
selection, time proven joinery and fitting techniques and
silky smooth finishes. Living in
the Ozarks, Al’s inspiration is all
around him in the form of beautiful
native hardwood trees stretching to
the horizon. He commonly roams
overgrown thickets, backwoods
saw mills and old dilapidated buildings searching for the
perfect piece of wood that will set his work apart.
“I’m pretty much a perfectionist and always try to achieve
excellence in my furniture. It’s very important to honor and
respect the life of the tree that sacrificed the wood I’m so
fortunate to use.”

A leather craftsman since 1969, Chris Chapman has spent
much of her career involved in historical research and
reproduction work dating back to 16th century European
leatherwork clothing and artifacts. In the 70’s & 80’s she
created museum quality reproductions of Native American
and early American garments and artifacts, including bead
and quill work. After the birth of her daughter in 1991,
Chapman decided to focus her collective talents on the
creation of leather bonded furniture and home accessories.
“I have been a maker of things since I was 5 years old.”
From enormous armoires and tables
to mirrors, custom cabinetry and
bars, Chapman’s work brings a fresh
perspective to the medium, which
she finds incredibly versatile in that it can adapt to nearly
any time period, style and design.
Chris lives in the Colorado Rocky Mountains with a wonderful
cat and her Chi-wienie dog Buddy. Her daughter Kaytie lives
in Grand Jct. Co with their four horses.

A South Dakota childhood fostered Lynda’s early fascination
for beading. The Sioux Indian Museum in Rapid City was the
first place she saw the brilliant colors and intricate designs of
native bead work that influenced her design aesthetic. As a
teenager hanging out with her horse at the Range Days rodeo,
she would rub shoulders with the Sioux in their native finery
as they marched in the grand entry. Saving up her nickels, she
bought an old beaded wristband at the “Nearly New” thrift
store and started down the path that led to today—national

he was exposed to the work of an uncle who built classic

a design style that combines the simplicity of the Arts and

Not Your Mother’s Furs
Leslie Molesworth Callahan
Cody, Wyoming ■ 307.527.6701
[email protected]
As a young girl, Leslie was fascinated with the Western
lifestyle including jewelry, clothing and furniture. Leslie’s
granddad was the legendary Thomas C. Molesworth, a pioneer
Western furniture maker and room designer beginning in the
1930’s. He defined “Cowboy High Style” with his world-class
Western furnishings. His furnishings were just as whimsical
and original as he was.
Leslie delights in working with fur, feathers, leather and jewelry,
just as her granddad enjoyed designing his distinctive western
furnishings. In 2012, Leslie débuted
her clothing accessory line at the
Cody High Style Fashion Show, and
continues with this third consecutive year.
It is in the spirit of Thomas C. Molesworth, and with appreciation
and fascination of the West, that Leslie continues designing
the West, Cowgirl Style, with “Not Your Mother’s Furs” for the
2014 Cody High Style Fashion Show.

Patricia Wolf is proud to say of her Patricia Wolf Designs:
“Made in America!” Her company, Patricia Wolf Designs,
has been based in Smithville, Texas, for the past thirty years,
where she designs clothing, accessories, and home décor.
Her work tells, as she puts it, “a complete western lifestyle
story,” and ranges from ranch wear chic to buckaroo cowgirl
to cowboy couture for the home. “Our western Americana
will always be popular,” Wolf notes, “but not everyone lives
on a ranch. I think of my collections as not only ‘western’
but also as something fun for anyone when the occasion fits,
either in Santa Fe or New York City.”

Vera Vasiley was born February 1, 1959 in Russia, Astrakhan; a
city established in the 13th century, not far from the Caspian Sea.
In her youth, Vera studied theater design and fine art, applying
her myriad skills to set decoration and costume design, a
specialty with a long and rich heritage in Russia. She eventually
married, become a mother to a son (now 33), and took a fateful trip to America in 1987 which changed everything. As it
turned out, her marriage didn’t last, but her love affair with
America did. Vera found herself hooked on Texas. In 1988 she
opened her first couture studio, which offered expert tailoring
and clothing design. Clients began to
order everything from every day wear
to ball gowns for Fort Worth’s most
sophisticated events. In 1991 she
started to make western style shirts. Each exquisite shirt is one
of a kind, designed with unsurpassed creativity and artistry.
Each shirt is cut and designed individually, and adorned with
beautiful silk embroidery. From jackets to shirts to cocktail
bags, Vera can envision and create almost anything, and out
of the finest materials.

For more than twenty-five years, Scott Wayne Emmerich has
pushed the envelope of western design through the art of
handmade cowboy boots. Creation of pieces like 40 Roses
of our Lady Guadalupe and The Mexican has earned him
and Tres Outlaws Boot Co. numerous awards at the Western
Design Conference and the American Bootmakers Competition, and recognition across the globe in publications such
as Forbes and Life. His award-winning creations have made
the company name synonymous with greatness and perfection.
From the original storyboard and
sketch, through hundreds of hours
of hand craftsmanship, Emmerich
creates masterpieces of western art for customers whose
names read like a list of “Who’s Who” not only in Hollywood,
but the world over. With endless combinations of mediums,
the question is not necessarily “when” or “how,” but more
likely “who” will be the lucky owner of the next great Scott
Wayne original?

Emmy Blair moved to Arizona after completing her bachelor’s
degree in Animal Science from the University of New York.
It was in Arizona where she met her husband, James, and
moved to Cody, Wyoming, where she completed her teaching
certificate from the University of Wyoming. While exploring
the natural splendor of the Rockies, Emmy became inspired
to use the beauty of the land to create an alternative work
of art. The vivid Wyoming nighttime sky combined with the
picturesque scenery of the West manifested an artistic vision
that transformed into a starburst constellation series in her
Wild West Jewelry® collection.
