Sonoran Desert is an acrylic painting on panel that features animals and plants whose unique adaptations allow them to thrive in a place where water is scarce.

Sonoran Desert was created as a companion piece to Ancestral Forest. The two paintings face each other within the lobby of the Stedman Education Center at the North Carolina Zoo.
