At the Pacific Region Convention, on April 28, 2:30 pm, botanical artist, Dyana Hesson, will be speaking about her unique style of botanical artwork. Learn about her creative process through stories, photos, and videos, and get a sneak peek at the work she is preparing for her 2025 one-woman show.
Dyana loves a good adventure. “I simply can’t get enough of Arizona, its sun on my face, its dirt under my feet, its colors on my pallet. The Grand Canyon state has been generous with inspiration for my many years as an artist, and I’m just getting started. There’s always more to explore around the next bend.”
Driven by curiosity and discovery, Dyana is on a mission to paint every wild Arizona plant she can find. Beyond the attention-grabbing prickly pear and saguaro, she also loves painting the little plants and blooms found in Arizona’s backcountry. Placing her subjects in the landscape helps her collectors feel the moment of discovery and thus, enter into the adventure.
Her latest project, Wild Arizona, will celebrate her thirty-five years as a painter, unveiling the largest collection of her works seen publicly in years. The Arizona Sonora Desert Museum’s Ironwood Gallery will host Dyana’s exhibit October 3-December 7, 2025.
Her one-hour talk will be followed by time for questions and a book signing of her latest book, “The Art of Wildflowers”. You can learn more about Dyana’s artwork at DyanaHesson.com
