Oro Valley has a new creative voice, and it’s using cutting-edge technology to celebrate what makes our desert community so visually spectacular. Sonoran Art, LLC, a new digital art studio, has opened right here in OV, specializing in AI-generated artwork that captures the daily drama of our beloved Pusch Ridge and the surrounding Sonoran Desert landscape.
The story behind Sonoran Art begins with an unexpected creative journey. Annette Burns, the primary digital artist behind the venture, was already well-established in Oro Valley as part of the team behind Agave Ink, a content development company. While using AI tools to create compelling web content and articles for clients, Burns discovered something remarkable – the same technology could create stunning visual art.
“What started as a practical need for images to accompany our content projects evolved into something much more artistic,” Burns explains. “As we experimented with AI-generated images, we realized we could create something truly special that celebrates the unique beauty of our Sonoran Desert home.”
Working from her home studio in Oro Valley, Burns has what might be one of the best offices in town – an unparalleled view of Pusch Ridge and the Catalina Mountains. This front-row seat to one of nature’s most spectacular daily performances directly influences every piece of art she creates.
“Every sunrise over Pusch Ridge tells a different story. Every sunset paints the Catalina Mountains in new hues,” Burns notes. “Every cloud formation creates a unique masterpiece against the desert sky. We harness the power of artificial intelligence to celebrate these ever-changing moments of natural beauty.”
Sonoran Art’s philosophy centers on what Burns calls “a fusion of art tradition and art technology.” The studio honors the timeless artistic tradition of landscape painting while embracing cutting-edge AI tools to create something entirely new. Each piece captures the essence of our desert – from vibrant oranges and purples of desert sunrises to deep magentas and golds of sunset reflections against Pusch Ridge.
The resulting artwork isn’t just about showcasing technology; it’s about translating the daily beauty that Oro Valley residents witness into art that can bring the magic of our desert landscape into any space.
Sonoran Art’s featured collections directly reflect the natural beauty that surrounds our community:
– Pusch Ridge Sunrise & Sunset Series – Capturing the daily drama of our iconic mountain range
– Sonoran Desert Wildlife – Local animals in their natural habitat, from javelinas to roadrunners
– Catalina Mountain Landscapes – The vast beauty of our high desert setting

All artwork is available as museum-quality Giclee prints in various sizes, from intimate 8×10 pieces perfect for home offices to large 24×36 statement pieces that can transform a living room. The studio’s commitment to quality ensures that every piece you purchase is a valuable addition to your collection. The studio also offers custom commissions for those interested in specific Sonoran Desert scenes or wildlife.
“We’re excited to connect with fellow desert art enthusiasts and local businesses,” Burns says. “There’s something special about creating art that celebrates the place where we all choose to live.”
Sonoran Art represents the kind of innovative, home-grown business that makes Oro Valley special – combining deep community roots with forward-thinking creativity. For residents who’ve fallen in love with our desert sunrises, dramatic monsoon skies, and the ever-changing moods of Pusch Ridge, Sonoran Art offers a way to bring those daily moments of beauty into their homes.
The studio is currently taking orders and offers local pickup by appointment for Oro Valley area residents. Custom commissions are also available for those who want to capture a specific desert scene or a favorite local vista.
