The Sonoran Desert has long been Ciri’s home. When she was a child she played in it’s washes and rode horses through it’s hills. As an adult she has quietly observed the wildlife around her and come to understand the delicate balance of it’s ecosystem. Rattlesnakes, desert tortoises, gila monsters, frogs - these are just a few of the diverse species which she recognizes are a vital part of our environment. Yet habitat encroachment due to unsustainable development threatens the survival of our native species. Her art speaks to the deep concern she has for the creatures of the Sonoran Desert, as well as plants and animals of the larger ecosystem.The Sonoran Desert has long been Ciri’s home.
