After the Storm, She Listens captures a moment of pause—where strength softens into listening. The cowgirl turns inward, eyes closed, breathing in the land that raised her. Surrounded by wildflowers, she is not posed for the world but rooted in it. This work honors a quieter form of resilience: femininity shaped by open skies, patience learned from seasons, and power that doesn’t need to announce itself. In this series, the cowgirl is not a symbol of nostalgia, but a living presence—grounded, self-possessed, and deeply connected to place.
