Waters Will Gush Forth in the Wilderness and Streams in the Desert.

Made with 100% handmade earth pigment paint (soil, earth & botanicals) hand sourced from DeSaro’s backpacking retreat to Sedona, Arizona in Spring 2023 and to Provence, France in 2013.

This body of work began in Spring of 2023 and will continue as the artist returns to Sedona four more times between 2023-25 creating large scale works with earth pigments on site in Arizona. The artist is planning to culminate this body of work in a solo exhibition.
