Despite her many creative endeavors, nikkireed remains deeply connected to the land and the Western way of life. “Art is fueled by stillness, by presence,” she says. “And there are few things that make you more present than being with a horse or out in nature. It’s sensory overload in the best way possible—the sound of a creek, the rustle of leaves, the feeling of connection to something greater than yourself.” #cowgirlmagazine #cowgirlexclusive #bayouwithlove #westernwear #westernfashion #sustainability #turquoisejewelry
