Artist Spotlight: Home Grown Instruments: Zach Farley- Patagonia, AZ

Part sculpture, part instrument, and entirely one of a kind.

Local artisan and musician Zach Farley has unveiled a remarkable new creation: a handcrafted three-piece Raven Flute, available now for $500. Inspired by one of nature's most intelligent and mysterious birds, this striking flute features a trio of raven heads, carved details, red beads, and rich dark tones that make it as captivating to look at as it is to play.

This flute is absolutely amazing! Zach sculpted the main body of the flute from PVC pipe and heated to get the form he wanted. The “feather” look on the heads is plumbers putty! And the eyes are red glass, as well as wood and coral cabochons!

Now, for all you music techies out there, the main flute on top is tuned to E minor. The flutes on either sides are known as musical drones, one is in the key of E and the other can change its drone notes; E, G, A, B. As a testament to Zach’s music teaching abilities…he saw the “deer in the headlights” look on my face and totally explained musical drones in a way I could understand!!!

Zach's instruments are known for blending craftsmanship, creativity, and a deep connection to the natural world. Built to come apart into three sections for easy transport, this Raven Flute is both a functional musical instrument and a conversation piece worthy of display.

Raised in Patagonia, Zach has spent years creating flutes, dulcimers, banjos, ukuleles, and other unique instruments through Home Grown Instruments. Every piece reflects his hands-on approach, artistic vision, and lifelong passion for music.
Whether you're a musician, collector, bird lover, or simply appreciate exceptional craftsmanship, this Raven Flute is something special.

Stop by and see it in person. The photos are impressive, but the real thing is even better.

Wild Arizona (on World Environment Day)

In honor of World Environment Day today, this week's Feel Good Friday spotlight is on Wild Arizona, a nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting Arizona's wild places, native wildlife, clean water, and public lands.

Artist Spotlight: Eva Arenas

Born in Denver, Colorado, and shaped by a lifetime in the Southwest, Eva Arenas brings the beauty of the desert to life through her stunning watercolor paintings. After studying art in Arizona, Mexico, Italy, and Spain, Eva found her true inspiration in the landscapes, plants, and vibrant colors of the American Southwest. For decades, she has painted the region's iconic scenery, capturing everything from dramatic desert sunsets to the intricate beauty of native cacti and blooming wildflowers. Her work reflects a deep appreciation for the land and a remarkable ability to translate light, color, and atmosphere onto paper and canvas. Eva's paintings have been featured in exhibitions throughout the country and can be found in both private and public collections.

We are excited to share that we have two new original Eva Arenas paintings available at Patagonia Trading Post!

“Yucca Sunset” is a beautifully framed 18" x 24" watercolor featuring blooming yucca against a glowing desert sky, available for $640.

“Red Trichocereus” is a striking 30" x 40" painting showcasing the brilliant crimson blooms of a desert cactus, available for $775.

These original works are wonderful examples of Eva's talent for capturing the color, texture, and spirit of the Southwest. Stop by and see them in person before they're gone!

The Patagonia Trading Post’s Local Non-Profit of the Week is:

Youth On Their Own

Founded in Tucson in 1986, YOTO was created after educators noticed that talented, determined students were dropping out of school simply because they were experiencing homelessness or trying to survive without stable family support. What began as one person wanting to help a handful of students grew into an incredible community effort that has now supported thousands of local youth on their journey toward graduation and brighter futures.

YOTO works to remove barriers that can make education feel impossible by providing financial assistance, school supplies, food, hygiene items, transportation help, guidance, and everyday support for students facing housing insecurity. Their mission is simple but powerful: helping young people stay in school, earn their diplomas, and build a path toward long term success.

Behind every student is a story of resilience, determination, and a community choosing to believe in someone’s future. This week we are sending extra appreciation to the staff, volunteers, supporters, and students who remind us that even small acts of support can truly change lives.

Artist Spotlight: Red Glasses Art, Susan Wischmann - Tucson, AZ

We are so excited to share a fresh new batch of whimsical greeting cards from Susan! These playful little works of art are full of personality, storytelling, and Southwestern charm, featuring everything from moonlit desert scenes and wandering javelinas to curious pups, sheep, chickens, and colorful vintage campers under starry skies.

Susan was an Art teacher and elementary school librarian for 36 years in Montana before making her way to the Southwest. She earned her Art degree from the University of Montana in Missoula and has always been inspired by the illustrations found in children’s picture books. That sense of wonder and imagination shines through in every piece she creates.

Her artwork blends whimsical storytelling with bold color, balance, and a deep love for the natural beauty of the Southwest. Each card feels like a tiny little world of its own, filled with humor, warmth, and imagination that is sure to bring a smile to your face.

Susan’s work can also be found at the Southern Arizona Arts Guild Gallery and Absolutely Art Gallery & Gifts in Tucson, and we are delighted to carry both her artwork and these charming new greeting cards right here at Patagonia Trading Post!

Hello Beautiful Friends!

Today we’re celebrating an artist whose imagination transforms everyday objects into extraordinary stories and playful works of art.

Artist Spotlight: Saul Lieberman - Patagonia, AZ

Saul Lieberman is a professional set builder for theater productions. Using materials such as styrofoam, lumber and secondhand objects, he creates the illusion of parlors and courtrooms, forests and city streets. Over the past 30 years, he has built sets for Hollywood movies, television shows, opera, and ballet.

Saul is also a creator of whimsy. In his studio here in Patagonia - Mañana Studio & Gallery - bolts and buttons, high-heeled shoes and rusted bed springs, k***s, keys, hooks, and sprockets of every description cover the walls, tables, and spill out into the courtyard of his studio.

Guided by a wry sense of humor and an affection for the unexpected, Saul fashions faces and forms from these found objects. His faces and critters gaze out at us like characters from a Theater of the Absurd. His mobiles, a thoughtfully suspended balance of random objects and hardware, suggest an e.e. cummings poem or a drawing by Rube Goldberg.

Saul has exhibited his creations in several Tucson galleries, and his works can be seen right here at Patagonia Trading Post!
