Commemorating our unsung heroines of the West, this mixed media, near-life-size portrait depicts a cowgirl in heritage attire posed with her trusty firearm. The detailed embroidery on her vest and her wide work pants are painstakingly crafted from individual, minute pieces of paper. Surrounded by tumbleweeds and subtle nods to the ranch landscape, she gazes straight through the viewer as if offering a challenge -- or a look of stoic admiration. Crafted from hand-cut vintage paper and acrylic paint on wood, finished in a handmade salvaged tin frame with Museum Plexi.
