Artist Statement: From the rock formations to the flora and fauna, unique and amazing creations come together to adorn our deserts. Stunning colors add a unique twist to the normal lush greens of the mountains. At times we feel like we have a dearth of the good things in life, wether they be missed opportunities, loss of loved ones, or other unforeseen hardships. The desert reminds us of the beauty can be found even within the harshest environments.
