all of the pieces in the Cowgirl Collection are intended to infuse a cheeky sense of FUN into your space. for this piece in particular, the artist went with a green and brown color scheme that brings a pop of color, while still blending effortlessly into a neutral space. the phrase "All Hat No Cattle" is one of her favorite cliches, meaning someone has the appearance of a cowboy but doesn't have the cows to back it up, or is "all talk" and no action. mallory experimented with a new process for making the cowboy hat stamp, carving it herself out of a linoleum block for print-making. she is a firm believer that there is plenty of room for fun in the art world, and this is a way to bring some of that fun into your home.
