Despite its stark landscape and harsh climate, the Sonoran Desert teems with life. Hare, hawks, lizards, bobcats, badgers, coyote all live among the deserts fragrant mesquite and spiny cactus, and none can exist without the others. Madeleine Dunphys poetic text explores all the warm and native elements that make the American Southwest such a mystical place, while Anne Coe's stunning paintings portray the deserts plants and animals as well as the dazzling colors reflected in the rocks and skies of the Sonoran Desert.
