Fringe welcomes new artist Courtney Robertson to this year’s Artist Collection, bringing her storytelling brushstrokes and rich cultural awareness to silk. Her art draws from personal history and shared heritage, with a style rooted in the traditions of the American West.

The Wait features a Native American figure on horseback—poised, focused, and patient. Inspired by the tension and stillness of a hunting moment, this piece is filled with quiet power. Courtney captures the strength in stillness and the resilience passed down through generations.
