My name is Kendra Connell, and I have lived in Highlands County my entire life. I have always had a strong passion for both art and agriculture. Through showing cattle and working with cows, I have gained hands-on experience and developed a deep appreciation for the agricultural and Western lifestyle. Repurposing cow skulls into unique works of art is a meaningful way for me to combine these passions while showcasing my creativity and artistic skills. Through painting and customizing each skull, I am able to give something that might otherwise be discarded a new purpose while creating artwork that represents my love for agriculture, Western culture, and creativity
