“Cowgirl Rising is a collection of my work reflecting both my art and my ideas about an approach to life, an eager readiness for what will happen next, an excitement at just being here and a reassuring knowledge of the strength and worth of our place in life.”  Donna Howell-Sickles' energetic art style and rich symbolism has made her one of the "new West's" most important and valued new talents. Now, for the first time, her vital, exhilarating images are available as an exceptional Collector's Edition book. Cowgirl Rising is a splendid collection of her art and ideas that explores her unique presentation of the smiling cowgirl as a new mythological figure.
