Artworks of Wild Desert Dwellers by Murray Bolesta Fine Art Prints!

A delightful small collection capturing the charm of Arizona's desert mammals - engaging wildlife art that brings the spirit of the Southwest's wild critters to your walls! By me.

What Makes This Collection Special

  • My approach: I capture charming critters on camera by inching forward prudently, —a patient, respectful method yielding intimate portraits while honoring wildlife boundaries
  • Urban-wildland interface: Critters of the desert are everywhere, since in Arizona, the wild outback often extends right next to urban development, with little developed margin between—creating unique opportunities to encounter them 
  • Diverse mammal portraits: Experience my desert fauna art through carefully composed wildlife photography

Southern Arizona's Mammal Diversity...

Common desert mammals include coyotes, javelinas (collared peccaries, or wild pigs), cottontail rabbits, alien-eyed ground squirrels, and lots of birds, many of them seasonal. Rarer treasures include bobcats, coatimundis, ringtails, kit foxes, and the occasional mountain lion or black bear wandering down from Sky Island ranges. The Sonoran pronghorn and ocelot represent the region's most imperiled species, while Mexican gray wolves are slowly being reintroduced in some places. Even a magnificent Jaguar or two has been seen from time to time, up from Mexico, but probably not much longer due to the new border wall. Their range once extended north towards the Grand Canyon.

Relish my wildlife images through these carefully crafted fine art prints that transform any space into a celebration of Arizona's wild heritage!
