Description:
Theresa is part of my In Their Shoes collection, a body of work that explores identity, resilience, and the stories we carry—told through the shoes we wear.

This painting captures a striking pair of black cowgirl boots, purchased in Texas in 1990. Their turquoise beads and tassels bring movement and personality, symbolizing boldness, individuality, and spirit. Worn by Theresa, a woman who has long been the heart of her family, these boots stand as both a fashion statement and a testament to resilience.

Like all works in this series, Theresa is more than a portrait of shoes—it is a portrait of a life. By collecting this piece, you hold a story of strength, family legacy, and the beauty of living unapologetically.
