In 2012 I started the “Wings of the Desert Project” on which my art is based. One day, I found a dead bee on the windowsill of my classroom and I thought to myself, “How cool it would be to see a bee wing up close!” So I scanned it and it was wonderful! I started to make patterns and shapes with the bee wing and then tried a cockroach wing found on the floor. Soon I was finding insects of all kinds, some in my back yard, some in the washes or desert areas, just about anywhere you can think of. I’ve been hunting insects and making designs ever since then. I am amazed with nature, the colors, the patterns, the way they work together and most of all the beauty. I hope my art reflects that and will bring the same amazement and joy to others.

T
his year we have a special treat to share with you! Similar to past talent we've showcased in our annual calendars, we are featuring an artist who focuses on aspects of local Southern Arizona beauty. The twist? This artist has a fascinatingly unique approach: he creates his stained-glass patterns completely from the wings of local critters found in our desert. Ric Nielsen, local artist, is a father of five, a grandfather of seven, a graphic designer and a teacher. His "Wings of the Desert" series grew out of his love of the intricate detail found in nature. He says, "I love the beauty of the outdoors. The colors, the patterns, and how they work together with nature is amazing. I hope my art reflects that and will bring the same amazement and joy to others." We were certainly amazed when we saw his artwork, and we hope that you are equally inspired throughout the coming year by this unique local artist. Judy Stahle Tenen & Gary Tenen
