ARTIST'S REFLECTION Spring 2026
THE VAQUERO COLLECTION
I am pleased to introduce The Vaquero Collection, which honors the Spanish horsemen whose disciplined horsemanship shaped the foundation of ranching in the American West. It reflects a culture where pride is earned through daily acts of respect — for the livestock, for the land, and for the work itself. Through this collection, I seek to preserve that living heritage — carrying forward the standards of mastery and stewardship that continue to shape Western culture today.
The Vaquero Candle Series
The inaugural offering within the collection, the candle series features my original line drawings of ranch horses, cowboys, and working gear — subjects shaped by my lived experience within the vaquero way of life. Named in Spanish and thoughtfully composed in fragrance, each candle extends this heritage beyond the canvas. Caballero, the first candle in the series, is a custom blend of Cuban cigar and saddle leather honoring the refined horseman of the vaquero tradition.
