Caya Crum's cowgirls don't ask permission. They smoke. They ride. They wear rhinestones like armor and pink chaps like a statement. From the Rodeo Queen series — five smoking cowgirl portraits with steel spines and lit lips — to Mildred, airborne on her bucking horse halfway between Pecos and Los Angeles, to the Cosmic Cowgirl rendered in Greco Roman classical form with a western attitude. These are not decorative cowgirls. These are cowgirls with something to say.

If you know a cowgirl, were a cowgirl, or have always wanted to be one — there's a print here that already knows your name.

All prints are hand-signed by Caya Crum and produced in our Fort Worth, Texas studio on archival 100% cotton rag paper using museum-quality pigment inks.
