Swoon Rodeo

Welcome!  I’m Frances,the hands and soul behind Swoon Rodeo.I started Swoon Rodeo in 2026 - the year of the horse.

From a very young age, I felt drawn to animals, especially horses. As a child, I spent most of my time on the ranch, the ranch was my home.

I started riding horses when I was young, spending long days riding through forests and across open land - galloping at full speed, listening to the sounds between the trees, watching the sunlight move through their branches. Being out there shaped the way I see the world. Nature carries its own stories, simply by having existed for so long.

The way Indigenous cultures listen to nature, reading the land by observing animals, birds, and the changing air, always inspired me. 

When I discovered metalsmithing. I wanted to create pieces I couldn’t find where i lived pieces made to survive weather, work and travel, carrying stories of the land. Jewelry that carried the spirit of the West and the deep connection to nature I admired in Indigenous cultures. That energy runs through every piece i make. 

Thank you for being here - for supporting my art, this journey, and the life behind it.
