From beneath the Phoenix sun, south, all the way to Dallas, cowboys are an American icon. Rush Cole paints them as she finds them; at rodeos riding bulls and broncs, at cattle roundups and brandings, or as a leisurely trail rider crossing a wilderness field and stream.

When it comes to cowboys, Cole insists on painting "the real deal", researching her subjects thoroughly by doing the same things the cowboys do. For Rush, gathering cattle, helping work ranch horses, cheering the contestants at the annual Rodeo de Santa Fe, and traveling horseback in desert and mountain wildernesses are all a part of creating her art of the west.

Early November oftentimes finds her attending the Working Ranch Cowboys Association (WRCA) World Championships in Amarillo, Texas. For four days, working cowboys and cowgirls from all over North America compete in ranch teams for the title of the best.

Colorful and action-packed, Cole's portrayal of the American cowboy honors traditions of the past, while adding contemporary flavor and excitement to her images of the American west.
