FOR THE LOVE OF 🌵 CACTUS

MY DEPICTIONS OF CACTI THROUGH THE YEARS

🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵🌵

But before I present my cactus art: thank you to all who purchased giclees in my last print sale!

For those of you who have followed the progression of my artwork through the years, you are aware that cactus images occur frequently. Why do I love cactus so much?

I was born in El Paso, Texas, and although I don't remember the city (we moved to California when I was too young to remember), subconsciously I remember the desert and hills, and of course, the cacti.

I love the dichotomy and contrast of the prickly plant and the exquisite delicate flowers blooming on that plant. Cacti come in all sorts of shapes, a variety of form that is stunning. Below are just some of my artworks with cactus imagery.
