“A flower blooming in the desert proves to the world that adversity, no matter how great, can be overcome.” ~Matshona Dhliwayo

Ana Thompson is an inspired, intuitive botanical artist based in Tubac, Arizona, creating hyper realistic interpretations of the landscape through a whimsical, surrealist lens.

With a background as a fresh floral designer beginning in 1992, Ana is a certified Arizona Master Florist and strives to think outside of the vase to reinterpret traditional design.

Trading the unlimited natural materials of the Pacific Northwest for the abundant sunshine and wide open spaces of the Sonoran desert,  Ana is currently working with preserved and permanent botanicals to create sculptural designs that reflect the Sonoran desert as well as the richly layered texture of the human experience.  Each piece is built to honor and immortalize a moment in the ever evolving natural world, and our experiences of it.
