HELLO ARIZONA: A Project Of Passion, Now A Creative Venture.

How It All Started

Over the years, you may have come across images (online or in printed materials) of flags appearing on saguaros. These images are not the result of AI, but the work of a designer who began creating them more than twenty-five years ago.

On this site you can explore a selection of mixed-media artwork that combines photography with flag designs. In the beginning, each flag was carefully resized, cut by hand, glued onto photographs, and then retouched so it would blend naturally with the shape of the saguaro. As technology evolved, the hand-glued process transitioned into a hand-crafted digital technique.

What started simply as a fun creative experiment gradually grew into something much bigger. People began requesting the designs for catalogs and websites, and even major American organizations, such as the National Italian American Foundation, asked the artist/designer to feature his distinctive and imaginative artwork.

More recently, thanks to their originality, these designs have appeared on a variety of Amazon products, including bags, water bottles, and t-shirts and Sweatshirts.

Take a look around this site, visit or little shop page and explore the collection. Don’t hesitate to treat yourself ...or find the perfect gift for your family and friends. Celebrate Arizona in style!

Well... now you know the full story ...and of course, in more than 25 years of creating the “Flags on Saguaros” artwork, no saguaros were harmed in the process. 😉

Thank you …and may the beauty of Arizona be with you!

I surprised my friends in Minnesota by sending them two T-shirts. They spend the winters near me in Tucson, so it was a fun little reminder of their time here. They told me they’re wearing the shirts proudly all over town!

Thank you for making my daughter so happy. She grew up in Arizona but recently moved to Illinois for college, and she really misses Arizona and the warm weather. I ordered this tote bag through Amazon and had it sent to her. When she received it, she called me very happy because it reminded her so much of home. She now uses the bag every day for her college books. It means a lot to her and brings a little piece of Arizona with her wherever she goes. I really appreciate what it represents for her.

I used the convenient Amazon ordering to send a water bottle to my daughter in Florida. She loves carrying around a little piece of her Arizona. She even tells her friends that Arizona is the real Sunshine State, not Florida. We both had a good laugh about that!

My wife grew up in Tucson and has always spoken fondly about the beautiful saguaro cacti in Arizona, especially now that we live in Georgia. Because of that, I chose the bag with the single American flag for her. She absolutely loved it and even carries it around like a real purse :)

I ordered a T-shirt for my son and a matching bag for my daughter-in-law who live in Portland. They loved it! It was a simple gift, but it’s really the thought that counts. I’m very happy with the purchase.

I just wanted to say how much I admire your idea of the flags on the saguaros. The landscape looks incredible, and the whole concept is both creative and meaningful. Thank you for sharing the beauty of our state through this small but very unique collection. It’s a lovely way to help people appreciate how special this place is.
