Concept Overview
The Story We're Telling
This film follows 18 living female Western artists across the American West - from Texas ranches to Colorado studios to Santa Fe galleries - revealing how their exceptional work captures authentic Western experiences often overlooked in traditional Western art. We're documenting artists like Gladys Roldan-de-Moras, Terri Kelly Moyers, Veryl Goodnight, and Felice House, whose diverse perspectives and backgrounds are enriching the Western art tradition.
Why This Matters
Western art has historically been dominated by male perspectives, but these women artists are creating a more complete, authentic narrative of the American West. Many of our featured artists come from Latino, Native American, and other diverse backgrounds, bringing rich cultural perspectives that have been underrepresented in Western art institutions.
