Desert Ehrhart of Desert Winds Arts

Desert Ehrhart knew they wanted to be an artist since their early childhood and let that interest flourish through their youth and teen years. Once out on their own as an adult, they took a break from the arts to delve into the subjects of native ecology and herbal medicine, developing their connection to sustainable, restorative and relational systems of healing. Engagement with these processes had had a deep impact of their artistic work and the different mediums they now choose to work with. Desert's most recent work predominantly features the native flora and fauna of the South West. In upcoming work they intend to cycle back to working with the form of the body and integrating that with this new relationship to ecology.
