In today’s episode we talk with 1995 Cowgirl Honoree Barbara Van Cleve at The Resort at Paws Up in Montana for the Cowgirl Fall Roundup. Her photography work is renowned for realistically portrayingranch life in the modern West. Raised on the family’s Montana ranch, she learned ranch life as a participant, with photography as an avocation. Van Cleve taught English Literature and Photography at DePaul University in Chicago, becoming the youngest Dean of Women in the U.S. She later pursued photography full-time and had her first major exhibition in 1985. Van Cleve has had more than 50 solo photography exhibitions and a lifetime of experience in the West through photography and ranching. You may recognize her from her feature on CBS Sunday Morning that premiered in 2019.
The Cowgirl Roundup events in the fall and spring are in partnership with The Resort at Paws Up in Greenough, Montana. If you are interested in attending a future Cowgirl Roundup visit Pawsup.com.
