Hi!
I appreciate you stopping by this page!
"Sunbleached Saguaro" is of one of my favorite paintings that I've done and is my most popular piece of artwork.
I grew up in the Sonoran desert in central Arizona and if you didn't know, we have a unique cactus here called the saguaro. It is the plant that defines this area (it grows nowhere else) and is the symbol of this wilderness.
I wanted to capture its majesty and recreate the feeling of being in a harsh desert, where it can get around 120 degrees in the summer but also show that, almost magically, vegetation will grow lush during monsoon season and after winter storms.
I did this by using bright white paint, adding a textured style, like that of the bare bones of a saguaro that has been washed out and faded by the scorching sun. Then I used a criss-cross pattern in green, depicting the acres of new plant life that emerge after torrential rainfall. I tied it off with a thin inset border of gold acrylic paint to symbolize the royalty that is the saguaro. The Sonoran desert is its kingdom.
Why am I selling prints of my original art?
FIRSTLY
Great art brings great energy into your home, and especially nature art. Have you ever just spent time looking at nature and felt full of wonder and joy? I want you to be able to look up at my abstract painting of a saguaro cactus and hopefully it reminds you of something that made you happy in the past. It's a rough world out there. We need everything we can to remind us that there's plenty of good and plenty of pleasant memories in that rough world. Plus, cacti are all the rage now! And especially the king of the cactus world: the saguaro!
SECONDLY
Not everyone can afford my art and I always wanted to make my art accessible for everyone. I want the people to resonate with the subject matter as well as the art that I create, and I want to see how happy those images make the people who hang my art in their homes and offices. It sounds corny, but I really like seeing people smile when they genuinely enjoy something. It means so much to me. Offering affordable prints also allows me to get my work out there, to gain more exposure, to share my creations with loads of people, and it's been my biggest dream to get my artwork seen around the globe. I want to be a successful artist and you can help me do that!
