M. Fillerup homes include fresh creations of original artwork,

Peter Fillerup grew up in Cody, Wyoming, the center of the Western Art world. His love of history and his frontier heritage is reflected in his art and designs. In addition to winning numerous gold medals and "Best of Show" awards from shows such as the American Indian and Cowboy Artist S how, the Buffalo Bill Art Show, and the Old West Museum Exhibit, Peter's sculptures grace private and public collections across the nation. His sculptu res have been commissioned as public monuments across Utah and the United States, including the Brigham Young Historic Park in Salt Lake City, the Univer sity of Kansas, the Biblical Arts Center in Dallas, Texas, the Philmont Boy Scout Camp in New Mexico, Soldier Hollow 2002 Winter Olympic Venue, and the Wyoming Governors' Residence.
In 1990 Peter and his family moved to Heber City, Utah where he started Wild West Designs. With this enlarged foundry and metal fabrication shop he was able to expand his line of lighting and other fixtures. Peter has worked with some of the premier architects and designers of the intermountain west and across the nation. His chandeliers, fireplace screens, hardware, furniture, and stained glass windows have been featured in such magazines as Architectural Digest, Luxury Living, Utah Homes and Gardens, Log Home Living, Teton Magazine, Art & Antiques, and Cowboys and Indians.
Peter Fillerup's
combination of functional art and fine art for homes creates a look
that is unparalleled in home design. As Kirsten Shaw, of the Wasatch
County Courier, once said: "Some artists' work pleases the public
briefly, feeding off trends, yearning to be fresh. Others create
because they have to, their internal
desire
ignorant of popular culture and marketing savvy. Their art is
timeless. Renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright was such an artist, his
creations unique, elegant and always harmonious with the environment.
The same could be said for Peter Fillerup". Wild West Designs is a
clear choice for the homeowner that is looking for exceptional quality
and one of a kind style.
Peter's staff at Wild West Designs transforms his designs into beautiful chandeliers, sconces, fireplace screens, sculptures, and more. Materials are carefully chosen and meticulously hand crafted in our foundry and workshop to produce pieces that are unparalleled in quality. Each member of the staff takes pride in his or her work and strives for that level of craftsmanship that can never be achieved in mass production.
One look will convince you that furnishing your home with Peter Fillerup/Wild West Designs is truly an investment in functional art that you will enjoy for many years to come.
