The Texas Huntress brand has evolved into a series of films, photographs, & stories…Exploring the literal and metaphorical manifestations of hunting around the world… as well as a line of stunning, hand-forged, ethically produced fashion & home goods created in magical San Miguel de Allende, Mexico & Bagru, India.
When literal “hunting” I hunt wt incredible guides & chefs, in order to "meet my meat" taking it from the field to the table. When metaphorically hunting, I am galloping in a herd of 100 horses across Iceland, hunting out tiny mezcal plantations in Southern Mexico, block printing textiles in Rajasthan, India, or documenting a “Day in the Life” of a wild Snake Hustler in the Brooklyn hood.
Known as a former "punk-rock debutante" born and raised in Texas & niece of a famous Bond-girl, I began hunting in December '08, inspired by my passion & interest in Slow Food & my family history with bird-hunting, particularly of my grandmother, the “OG Texas Huntress.”
An anti-gun animal lover, I was the last person anyone expected to pick up a rifle. However, my first four shots were my first four kills.
I received my Bachelors in film from the University of Texas, working as personal assistant to Dazed and Confused director, Richard Linklater, & subsequently directing & editing short documentaries, event films & brand films.
I am highly skilled in the areas of branding, creative direction, film, photography, styling, fashion accessory design/development (wt production & quality control.)
I am available for consulting in the aforementioned areas, LOVE creating brand films (portfolio coming asap) & love working on custom designs, mostly in the realm of jewelry and home goods.
