Desert Sky

20x24

This was my very first paper project. It has been featured in art shows and galleries throughout Idaho and Utah, USA.

Desert Sky is a vibrant striking portrait of a woman, embodying the connection between the land and its people. Her features reflect the strength and grace of native cultures, honoring their deep bond with the earth. Her expression carries a sense of quiet reverence, as though she is one with the vast expanse around her.

The use of color show off the desert's mesmerizing beauty as it transforms under the night sky. The piece captures the rich, shifting hues of twilight—deep blues, & warm yellow-orange, evoking the serene yet powerful atmosphere of the desert after sunset.

Every detail, from the delicate textures of her skin to the subtle interplay of light and shadow, mirrors the natural harmony found in the desert landscape. The blending of colors and intricate lines emphasizes not only the beauty of the environment but also the cultural richness of the people who call it home. Desert Sky invites viewers to feel the awe of nature’s splendor and the enduring spirit of those who are a part of it.
