Artist:
Nevena Christi
A horse that reflected the style and costumes
worn by Gene Autry and Roy Rogers in old Hollywood westerns -- '30s
and '40s cowboy retro, in other words -- was the initial dream of this
fine artist and former fashion designer. To give it an edge, she also
wanted the horse to look like it was made of tooled leather, with a
vintage saddle cinched on its back. The final touch -- "I want everything
I do artwise to light up" -- was to add an electric lariat. Nevena now
lives in El Paso and runs Rocketbuster Boot Company, where some of the
wildest cowboy boots you will ever see are handmade.
