"From the Grand Canyon in the north to the saguaro stands and Gila monsters of the Sonoran desert in the south. Arizona's natural wonders captivate artists and inspire them to pick up a brush, pen, clay, or chisel to celebrate this corner of the West. But there's also much more to the art of Arizona than landscape paintings, as you will discover in the following pages. From cities like Tucson and Scottsdale to smaller towns like Sedona and Prescott and many spots in between, artists and galleries are thriving in the Grand Canyon State. With such a vibrant variety of art, you're sure to find something that catches your eye" (Southwest Art, October 2013, pg. 138).
