"Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better." – Albert Einstein

This piece, 'The Oasis Within,' is my artistic interpretation of the vibrant life hidden within the arid landscape. While the subject is a prickly pear bloom, the electric contrast—the delicate, fiery orange and gold against the deep, unexpected teal at its core—is the result of intentional, focused post-processing.
My goal was to elevate the subtle beauty of the desert, transforming what I captured in the lens into a visual metaphor. The final image is an exploration of color theory and macro detail, a reminder that often, the most vibrant life and the greatest refuge are found not just in observation, but in the creative vision that brings the details to the surface.

'The Oasis Within' is now available to bring this burst of unexpected color and inspiration into your home. It’s a perfect statement piece that celebrates both nature and the art of photography.

'Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.' - Edgar Degas

​Stepping back to look at the entire collection from September, the theme is unmistakable: Finding the extraordinary in the tiny, buzzing worlds around us. This month showcases my passion for both the camera and the canvas.

​The Photography: The brilliant, almost-neon yellow of the prickly pear blossom and the quiet intensity of the Black & White Hummingbird are moments captured directly through the lens. These images are about chasing light and detail in the Arizona desert.

​The Digital Art: The Great Horned Owl illustration (Slide 6) is from my first digital art collection. I created it to evoke the timeless style of vintage scientific illustrations—a new medium for me to explore the wildlife I love.

"The silence is the first thing that struck me in the desert, and then the quiet, persistent pulse of life." - Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

​This piece, "Echoes of the Wild," captures that persistent pulse in the most unexpected way. I didn't find this jackrabbit out in the remote wilderness; I found him right outside a shop in Cave Creek! My husband and I were just window shopping before meeting family for lunch when I spotted this beautiful sentinel hiding in plain sight. It was a perfect reminder that the wild is always closer than you think.

​This photo isn't just a picture; it's a captured moment of stillness amidst the everyday buzz. The dramatic lighting and the quiet focus of the rabbit make it a statement piece for any room.

​"Echoes of the Wild" is now available on museum-quality metal, canvas, or fine art paper. Click the link in my bio to own this piece of the desert's heart today!
