This group of women artists live in a place that ain’t Texas, but each live an authentic creative life based on their connection to this place, the people and its cowgirl culture. Some of us have ancestors whose very survival meant adapting to new ways, some of us are raising the next generation of cowboys and cowgirls, some of us love and share a special relationship with domesticated animals -horses, cattle, sheep and dogs, and some of us love the wildness of country - the dust and sunrise and sunsets, the expanse starlit sky, the eagle riding high. All of us are in it for the boots.
This Ain't Texas is a group exhibition that ran in 2024 at the Outback Arts Gallery, Coonamble.
