"Desert Reverie" encapsulates the serene yet powerful juxtaposition of a bull skull and delicate flowers, evoking the vast, timeless beauty of the Southwest's desert landscapes. Drawing inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe's iconic work, this piece reflects the contemplative balance between life and death—the bull skull symbolizes strength and resilience. At the same time, the flowers offer a contrasting image of vitality and renewal.
 
Hand-burned on an 18" diameter birch wood panel, the intricate details of the pyrography invite a dreamlike reflection on nature's cycles. The circular form enhances the organic flow of the design, grounding the piece in the elemental spirit of the desert. "Desert Reverie" invites viewers to contemplate the natural world's quiet power and meditative calm, evoking peace and awe.
