The Story of "Native"Desert Trash. Sound pretty disgusting? I couldn't agree more!
Mostly, the Sonoran desert is a beautiful place of unique vistas, plants, animals and minerals. On a cool winter day (when the snakes are hibernating, of course), it's an amazing place to discover natural treasures. I love to paint what I find out there! But every once in a while I come across old abandoned sites that are littered with rusted metallic trash that, I guess, could be centuries old. Instead of remaining angry about people not cleaning up after themselves, it occurred to me that I could take a lesson from the Arizona burrowing owls. They've made an amazing adaptation to man-made materials. If you know where to look for them, they can be found hiding in drainage ditches and piles of pallets all over town, where people live and work. I figured if they could pivot like that, I could also change my perspective and find a way to make art out of the junk I find in the desert. So I've included burrowing owls in my recent art pieces, in honor of their creative problem solving. And . . . they're just plain adorable! Besides enjoying burrowing owls, my goal is to bring awareness to the on-going efforts to provide suitable, safe shelters and public awareness so that we can protect these beautiful creatures living among us. |
