Arizona Portfolio

Much of my family lives in Tucson Arizona and my father was from there.  As a child, we often went to visit my Grandparents and hiked and picnicked all around the Sonoran Desert and the Catalina Mountains.  I learned to love wild birds at Madeira Canyon in the Santa Ritas where my Grandfather convalesced from Tuberculosis.  In the last few years, during my Dad's fight with cancer, I spent a lot of time, traipsing, photographing and sketching around the desert.  These are some of the paintings that have come from those ventures.
