-Stories from the road-

Adventures, notes of inspiration, daily experiences, trips to nowhere and then somewhere, works in progress, creative discoveries, new work, tools of the trade, news from the studio, event updates, and things that make me smile or think deep thoughts...

Wildlife of Arizona - or really the southwest

3/1/2016

I've traveled to some beautiful places over the last couple of years...

Rocky mountain park, colorado
Zion National Park
Cotton field, southern arizona
Grand Canyon
Lake powell, arizona
riparian preserve, arizona

And along the way... I've met some interesting characters...

Harris Hawk
herd of elk
Big horn sheep
Ostrich
Golden mantle squirrel
tortoise
These encounters - maybe random, maybe intentional - have been unique, special and inspiring. To have the chance to really meet the personality that lives inside a Big Horn sheep that grazes inches away from you. To accidentally trip over a tortoise (hey it happens)... or to feed an ostrich and pet a Harris Hawk... all of them remind you that the spirit of life is beyond our little reality we define as society, culture, or humanity. We share this planet with incredible creatures, all great and small, and we forget that. Sure we remember the dogs and cats we feed, but when was the last time we shared space with the wild without fear? Fear - from them, or fear from us.  ​​
​That's the source of thought and inspiration behind a new collection of pastel drawings I'm exhibiting at the Verde Brewing Company this spring. The exhibit opens March 3rd for their first Art & Beer dinner.

Here are some of the drawings... ​

    All photography - unless otherwise noted - is taken by me. If you love a photo, that's great but please don't steal it. Feel free to inquire about purchasing a print, crediting me if you want to use it on a website, facebook, etc, or you can even buy a digital copy to use how you please.
