On Top of the World- Shorty 26"x26"

New to the Fringe Artist Collection, Courtney Robertson brings a fresh, heartfelt perspective to Western art. Raised on a cotton farm in Missouri and now based in South Texas, her work reflects the stories, traditions, and grit of rural life with striking emotional depth and folk-inspired style.

On Top of the World captures the adrenaline rush of a great saddle bronc ride—the moment when everything comes together, and the crowd roars. Inspired by a photo of Courtney’s son mid-ride, this piece celebrates the glory of that eight-second high. Floral details bloom around the rider, drawing from traditional leather tooling and saddle artistry.
