The word on the street is this lady knows how to deal with the difficulties of urban life. Even though her brightly colored red dress is symbolic of stopping, she is a fast thinker. Black and white checkered-flag shoes indicate she will cross the finish line first. The artist herself has been to a high performance racing school.
This lady keeps a set of jumper cables in her car, and she knows how to use them. She doesn’t let wearing a dress and spectator shoes stop her. This painting has a retro vibe that takes the viewer back in time, perhaps to an unfortunate day of being stranded on a roadside. It’s a good thing this confident lady knows “Red from the dead to red on the hood; black from the good and back to the hood.” The artist was inspired by this mnemonic that was taught to her long ago.
Pretty Tough is a celebration of our fearless and beautiful cowgirls, ranchers, rodeo and the American West. This piece was created using vibrant papers, maps, a vintage female rider in the sunset with rays of sun echoing the Arizona Flag.
Never mind what other girls wear on the farm. This young lady is a fashion forward farmer. Like a brooding hen, she will protect her nest. The model was actually wearing the artist’s pink Doc Marten boots, but the artist chose to close in on the colorful assortment of eggs for this painting, inspired by a scarcity of eggs in the supermarket.

Using a comprehensive color palette of acrylic paint, the artist draws attention to several realistic points. With the intended main focus on the written word, this painting is meant to encourage and motivate. The title implies that in a group of metaphorical flowers, this stylish lady is someone’s favorite. She is bold, yet she is graceful as she tiptoes through the tulips.
Not your typical boxing ring attire, but this champion fighter steps into the ring whenever it’s necessary. She always fights the good fight. Her inner strength and beauty alone will usually result in a technical knockout against her opponent. Some women have seen this painting as symbolic to fighting an illness, especially breast cancer.
Ladies, start your engines! An overnight suitcase is packed, and this lady is all dressed up with somewhere to go. No matter how you interpret this painting, one thing is for sure. Like the power of fuel, this lady will light things up and get the party started. The artist was inspired when she found this old gas can in an antique store.

“A Good Catch” is the first painting in the You Go, Girl collection depicting women making a fashion statement no matter where they are.
