Desert | Prairie arrives wired and ready to hang. My genius husband Aaron Swanson carefully crafts each panel with high-quality wood, mounting a smooth plywood surface onto a sturdy, mitred wooden frame that provides depth and support to the painting. The sides of the panel are sanded and finished for smoothness.

The community conversation that inspired Desert/Prairie….
“This prairie reminded me when I first saw the desert. I expected the desert to be tan and boring, and instead it was all these other colors. And that's what this field evokes in me. You look out and it's golden and purple and there's a bank of trees in the far ground…I just find it fascinating because I grew up more city than I did country. So I've learned a lot by coming here.” - Kyle Renell, Ames-based artist
