Stagecoach

$175.00

She drove through blizzards. She never missed a delivery. She was the first Black woman hired as a U.S. Mail carrier — and she did it on horseback, in Montana, in the 1800s.

Stagecoach is a charcoal study drawn in the energy of Mary Fields — Stagecoach Mary — one of the most fearless figures in American history and a cornerstone of the Black cowgirl legacy. A woman who took up space in a world that was not built for her and made it her own anyway.

The rawness of charcoal felt right for her. Nothing polished. Nothing performed. Just power in motion.

Charcoal on paper, 2021. Hand-signed by the artist. 18x24 inches. Printed on archival fine art paper.
