JANE HILTON – COWBOYS & QUEENS

Posted on 2025-10-20

This vibrant series explores the collision and coexistence of two quintessentially American archetypes, the cowboy and the drag queen, each embodying freedom, individuality, and self-expression in their own dazzling way.

Through Hilton’s lens, Cowboys & Queens becomes a portrait of a reimagined American Dream: one that embraces both tradition and transformation. The open skies and rugged landscapes of the West blend seamlessly with the glittering lights of nightclubs and cabarets, revealing unexpected parallels between the stoic cowboy’s endurance and the drag queen’s flamboyant artistry. Both figures challenge conventions, standing proudly as symbols of authenticity and liberation.
