Mesquite Bosque

Arizona artist Mary Shindell created Mesquite Bosque, which can be found at the Bell94 Sports Complex in north Scottsdale. Mesquite Bosque reflects the Sonoran Desert’s mesquite trees and marine blue butterflies. The eight water–jet–cut aluminum panels border the facility buildings and the main entrance to the sports fields. Each panel is 8 feet wide and powder–coated in a striking violet color, a reference to the backdrop of the McDowell Mountains to the east.
