This exhibition features photographs by Donald Knight and paintings by Deanna Thibault, Pam Cheeseman, Judy Constantine, Jennifer Clark, Sylvia Herrera and Barbara Amyx.

Artists use a variety of sources to inspire them, which can be from real life, current or historical events, emotions, real or abstract ideas or dreams. To help them visualize the subject, they might utilize photographs which allow them time to study details. For this art project, Sonoran Inspirations aims to show a diversity of art forms juxtaposed with the original inspirational photograph so the viewer can gain insight into the thought process behind various forms of art.
