Summary/Artist Statement
Queen of the Rodeo is a narrative journey through the heart of the American West. Inspired by my family heritage of cattle ranching and farming, I unite the historical dress of the 20th century with contemporary dress sensibilities. Through the juxtaposition of the toughness of the prairie woman and the rugged nature of the cowpoke, my collection aims to construct a tale that captures the essence of Western Americana through a personal lens.
