David J West Gallery

It was a blustery day when I walked into this gallery. I was greeted by a friendly, down-​to-​earth person, who offered me a cup of tea. I said, yes, afterall, hot tea would soothe my throat. I was pleasantly surprised when I discovered he was the photographer.
This gallery displays David West’s beautiful landscape photography and unusual, memerizing ceramic pieces from an artist in Pennsylvania.
David West’s prints have vivid colors and gorgeous natural scenery taken during different seasons. Reminds me of Peter Lik’s style. David has captured many of Utah’s natural wonders, several from Zion National Park. I bought two prints, one features a scene from Zion, and the other is in Alaska. For those with deeper pockets, the framed photographs are beautiful. The framing is top-​notched, variety of sizes and both horizontal and vertical images are available.
I highly recommend dropping by.

David is a very nice man. His photographs, mostly from Zion, were displayed throughout our
hotel. I especially loved the pottery in his shop.

Honestly the nicest person we have met in town! Wife got a bowl and a print and you could really see the approbation from David. Amazing work and an amazing gallery!

Stopped into this gallery on a walk back to our hotel from dinner. David’s work is stunning. On our second visit in we got to meet the photographer himself. Nicest and most humble young man. We bought 3 of his poster prints that he kindly signed for us. We will enjoy these for many years to come. If we had the fund for the larger real prints I would purchase them for certain as his work is beyond my words. The pottery he also displays by another artist is beautiful as well. My mother bought a vase that she was so excited about. I plan to visit again our next time through and see what new prints he has in store. I also intend to check out his website as there were a couple of posters from newer photos that I wanted to get. My house has added beauty because of the eye of David West.

Best photo gallery I’ve ever been in. The bonus was that David, the photographer, was there making people feel welcome and asking for feedback. I was so inspired by him and the life he has. Incredible work.

I enjoyed David’s gallery. The photos are wonderful — large (as wide as your couch!), well-​lit, well-​colored, and well-​composed. If you love nature, you’ll certainly see a few images that strike you. They predominantly feature the southwest and all its bold colors.
I had never seen flambeaux pottery before, either, and I bought a ridiculous amount of it. If you need a unique gift, stop in. It’s so gorgeous — pottery with pearlescent crystalline patterns baked into it. It has a very organic look to it. David shipped 4 pieces of it across the country for me with no problem.
I also took a photography workshop with him in Zion National Park. We worked together for several hours, starting at dawn, and I got some great shots. It’s definitely a time saver to have a guide who knows the best locations and the best light! I learned some great long-​exposure techniques for silky river shots and overall found him to be a patient and capable teacher.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I don’t feel right about belittling someone’s art work. I just feel I seen these pictures before, in better format at Peter Lik & Fatalli galleries. There were ceramic potteries around the gallery as well that were interesting. Was worth stopping in I guess.

Wow– his photographs are stunning. I fell in love with several pieces and would have bought them if I could afford them. My friend was smart and got a great print for only $ 35.
His photos are not only of Zion but of other amazing places. I loved that he was actually in the gallery so he talked to us about his work and what we liked. He was really friendly. He also has courage to follow his dreams– he moved out to Springdale after falling in love with the park. I think he is going to be really successful. I would highly recommend checking out his gallery. You’ll be impressed.
