"Little Cowgirl"
2024, Oil on Canvas, 20x24 inches
"Little Cowgirl" is a snapshot from my early childhood—a 90s moment of me dressed up in a cowboy hat, curiously holding a toy gun. Inspired by an old photo, this painting explores how the passing of time can shift the way we view what was once innocent, especially in today’s climate. Using drippy, painterly marks, I aimed to give the piece a soft, vintage quality, reminiscent of faded memories. "Little Cowgirl" evokes the innocence of petting zoos and pony parties, while inviting reflection on how nostalgia and curiosity intersect with a more complex present.
Perfect for collectors drawn to nostalgic Americana or thought-provoking pieces, "Little Cowgirl" would add depth and character to any home that celebrates the complexity of memories and time.
