“This piece gives a glimpse to the tenacity of a cattle woman and athleticism of a roping horse. A few conchos are missing on her chinks, and the leather has seen much wear. The horse is gentle and well-mannered under her skills as a horsewoman. As a rancher’s wife ... I’ve grown to appreciate this lifestyle of hard labor for unequal monetary returns. The people and animals are those who show great tenacity and steadfastness, no matter the odds. From my working cattle ranch in western South Dakota, it is my desire to celebrate the beauty of our landscape and those who care for it through the lens of my camera.”
