Meet the Herd

Handmade donkeys each with a name and a story

Close-up of a woman with gray, curly hair wearing eyeglasses, a red top, a small necklace with a pendant, and a teardrop-shaped earring, against a dark green background.

Slow Desert Studio began as a way to slow down and pay closer attention.

Every piece begins an encounter—an animal, a walk in the canyon, or a quiet, sunlit moment that stayed with me.
