Donna Howell-Sickles has taken the image and idea of the cowgirl beyond charcoal lines into reality.
Donna has explored the layers beneath the cowgirl’s engaging exterior for more than 30 years.
A vintage postcard featuring a cowgirl with ruby red lips atop her horse instilled in Donna a fascination with the cowgirl spirit. The cowgirl was once both familiar and unreal. This dichotomy is the idea that has fueled Donna’s artwork, and inspired her to create images of women that are both real and myth. Donna’s artwork encapsulates the camaraderie and timelessness of the cowgirl spirit. Donna was inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in 2007.
