Growing up in Fort Worth, Texas, Cowboy culture was ingrained in my daily life. Whether it was visiting the Stock Yards, attending the Rodeo, or my mother teaching me to two-step as a boy, the essence of bravery and strength that epitomized Rodeo folk always captivated me. Through my watercolor paintings, I strive to capture the same spirit that I admired growing up, immortalizing the rugged determination and indomitable courage that defines the heart of Cowboy culture.
