[6][3][7] House is most known for her portrait series, Re/Western and Face West, which both take classic cowboy characters played by actors like James Dean, John Wayne, Clint Eastwood,[8] Alan Ladd,[3] and Gary Cooper,[2] and re-imagine them as women.
[8] By painting well-known leading characters as women, House challenges the male-dominated nature of the Western film industry.
[9][8][7] She also hopes to juxtapose male cowboy archetypes against the roles offered to women in those films, which tend to be passive characters or sexist tropes.
[6][1] House has exhibited paintings in galleries and museums across the United States and Canada including Maryland, Georgia, Colorado, Louisiana, Tennessee, New Mexico, Texas, and Nova Scotia.
[10] She has also shown her work in the U.K.[5] House paints her portraits on canvases that are slightly larger than life so that viewers must look up to see the whole subject.
