About the Artist:
Originally from Los Angeles, Seth Stern began photographing cowboys while traveling across the country after leaving the film industry. What started as a search for direction evolved into a personal and artistic transformation that continues to shape their work today. Stern’s work documents the people and traditions of the American West through intimate portraiture and candid moments exploring themes of identity, faith, perseverance and transformation.

“I’ve been a fan of Seth Stern’s work for sometime so this partnership has been a thrill for me,” says Angela H. Brown, Executive Director at Craft Lake City. “Celebration of the Hand reflects our commitment to elevating artists and making their work accessible to the public outside of a traditional gallery setting, creating opportunities for meaningful connection and storytelling.”
