 I am a cowgirl at heart.. blazing new trails, roaming the mountainside, head in the clouds, trying to round up the muse and lasso her in for a wild ride. Can be seen with cowboy coffee in the desert, talking to cactus, and forever carrying a camera with the need to photograph everything with my own unique view. I take all of these experiences, work them into the surfaces of my paintings, and brandish them with my distinctive style.
Little Cowgirl is literally "now and then" in the same moment. Fifty years separate the two images in this collage: a 3-year old on the draw in her cowgirl suit, and the famous COWGIRL sign in Santa Fe where I have frequented many times during my travels.. a symbol of the free spirited cowgirl that still exists after all these years and is part of me whether I am 3 or 53. Lots of changes occur over the years, but the interior remains the same. No matter where I go or what I do, that spirit is there.

There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment?s pleasure, for the rest of their lives. 9/8/2018 07:31:21 pm
