Notes

The San Rafael Cactus is a very rare and endangered species that only grows on a small strip of Utah’s San Rafael Swell. It spends most of its life underground during cold or dry seasons. Its rare appearance and diminutive size makes it easily overlooked during the few days it emerges to flower every year.

This piece won Honorable Mention in the 2017 Utah Statewide Annual Painting and Sculpture Exhibition in Salt Lake City, UT.

The original version of this piece is in the State of Utah art collection, purchased in 2018.
