'The Painted Desert I'

Moving back to Arizona as an adult and exploring all the backroads and nature trails has inspired me in new ways. I love using the colors and textures of the rocks and flora. I am always behind my camera and use my photos for both inspiration and reference. 

For 'The Painted Desert I' I wanted to capture the desert rock formations at their most vibrant time of day. To bump up the colors as if God used a broad paint brush for a final stroke across the landscape during that one magical moment at sunset.

Hand dyed, hand painted and commercial fabrics.
