Portrait Exhibit Celebrating Women Leaders

A year long photography project documenting the stories of incredible women in our Collin County community.

Be captivated by the vibrant lives and unyielding spirit of Collin County's extraordinary women. The 40 Over 40 project highlights the wisdom, resilience, and unique journeys of these inspiring individuals through beautiful and empowering portraits and authentic stories shared in their own words.

Join us on this exhilarating journey,
where artistry and community converge.

Dive deeper, be inspired, and take part in a transformative experience that celebrates the boundless beauty of every woman's narrative.

Be a part of something amazing and join us in celebrating the 40 participants who allowed us to make their portraits and shared their incredible stories for this project.  Interested in participating? We invite you to apply to be a feature in 2024.
