Seasons of the Sonora
Two artists share their discovery of the Sonoran Desert
through illustrations, photos and stories

On Earth Day, April 22, 2002, about 50 people attended an art show at the Epic Cafe in Tucson, Arizona, featuring drawings by Keith McHenry and photos by Marion MacDonald. The opening included a presentation on the natural and cultural history of the Sonoran Desert by the artists and by Sonya Diehn of the Center for Biological Diversity.

The artists have spent the past year hiking and camping in the Sonoran Desert, from the Seri Coast and Reserva de la Biosfera Pinacate in Mexico to Tucson's Catalina Mountains. On their journey they stopped to draw, take photos and write about the natural and cultural history of area. They hope that by sharing their art and love of the desert they will inspire others to help protect what's left of this 120,000 square mile international desert garden.

Our thanks to the Tucson-Pima Arts Council for supporting this project, and to the following publications for featuring our work: The Peace Calendar, The Northwest Explorer, The Food Conspiracy Coop Newsletter, The Tucson Weekly, and the Arizona Daily Star.
