This piece was inspired by a road trip through Arizona years ago. As someone originally from the Midwest, the Sonoran Desert completely captivated me—the vastness, the light, and the quiet energy of the landscape felt unlike anywhere else. I wanted to capture the awe-inspiring sunsets and the way sunlight dances across the desert brush and cacti. Using an unexpected color palette and thick, textural paint, I aimed to celebrate the vibrant contrasts and timeless beauty of the desert.
Painted on a birchwood cradled panel, the natural wood edges are beautifully sealed to highlight the organic warmth of the birch—an intentional nod to the earthy tones and natural textures of the desert itself.
Details:
Medium: Acrylic on cradled birch wood canvas
Size: 48 × 48 inches
Edges: Painted and ready to hang (no frame required)
Hanging wire installed
