Howdy Cowboy. Painting series.

For Walking, 2025, acrylic on canvas, 11” x 14” x 1” Work in progress.

Howdy Cowboy. A western painting series that I’m currently working on. This work challenges traditional masculine stereotypes by reinterpreting cowboy imagery to critique conventional idealized narratives. I found myself needing to explore a personal conflict, being attracted to cowboys but also not wanting to further patriarchal symbolism.
