In a canyon near Joshua Tree National Park, there is almost no vegetation due to the extreme dryness of the desert area. The space has a sacred quality that inspires respect and stillness. Apparently in the past, indigenous people and raptors had managed to eke out a life among the barren cliffs, evidenced by the abandoned eagle’s nest and the ancient petroglyphs nearby. I chose to paint it in an extreme vertical format to illustrate the height of the walls and the viewer's sensation of smallness in comparison to the surroundings.

On Hold until 11/01/2025 for exhibition. Contact me if interested in arranging a layaway.
