All my life I have dreamed of saguaros. I’ve been captivated by the mystery they seem to embody: how can a desert plant grow so tall, live so long, and have such delicate flowers? The seemingly inherent contrasts have inspired me since I was a child.
It wasn’t until recently that I experienced a sunset in Saguaro National Park. The electric neon colors of the sky and surrounding hills amazed me, and I hope to have captured even a fraction of that in my painting Sonoran Sunset.
You can see this painting at Zilker brewery, as part of our Lizard Juice seasonal beer and art collaboration (featuring paintings, prints, bandanas, and a fruited kettle sour beer with my art on the can), only at the Zilker taproom, thru August 28th.
Join us on the final day of the show as we celebrate with an art market!
A percentage of taproom sales will be donated to Austin Wildlife Rescue to help rehabilitate injured native critters – come meet their animal ambassador, a Texas tortoise!
