Even with the rich, vibrant color palate Tara McPherson employs, she still continues to characterize people and creatures of her own creation with darkness and intensity. Women with the same sense of danger and desire in their eyes as the sirens in fairytales are a common theme in her work.

When I imagine what Texas looks like (I’ve never been there), I pretty much imagine a Scott Slusher photograph. Warm tones, bright sunlight, rodeos, cowboys and skinny white girls. His work brings chic and rustic together in a very appealing way. He’s taken the cowboy image to a new level
