WELCOME TO THE DESERT

Hi there - I’m Bryce, a longtime desert dweller and the artist behind Dry Heat Trades and Solterra Kitchen. Living in the high desert is not the easiest of places to reside, and we constantly remind ourselves during the hottest of summer months that “it’s only a dry heat.” This endearing term, while often used, is not one to take lightly.

Growing up in the enchanting Southwest, I've always been deeply fascinated by the natural beauty of this remarkable region. From the thrill of hiking in the majestic mountains to the joy of exploring hidden canyons, I perpetually seek out new adventures and take the time to soak in the breathtaking landscape around me. The vivid colors and rawness of the desert serve as the primary inspiration behind my various artwork creations.

I consider myself a multi-media artist because I love to create in a variety of disciplines such as stained glass, culinary creations, photography, and much more. What can I say, I’m a passionate creative at heart! I’m always looking for innovative ways to push myself creatively and explore new ideas and concepts. I firmly believe that art and adventure beautifully go hand in hand, and I’m truly grateful for the wonderful opportunity to pursue both of these cherished passions in life.
