'When the Desert Speaks to Us' is a developing series of photographs taken during my sojourns in the Mojave Desert where I call home. These desert lands have become discovered en mass but not necessarily respected and appreciated for its fragile uniqueness. I feel increasingly compelled to capture moments of its ethereal beauty before it is forever changed. Can we use art to begiin those important conversations across the board for sustainable, harmonic living? I hope so.
