The Mojave Hi-desert communities of Southern California include Morongo Valley, Yucca Valley, Joshua Tree, Landers, 29 Palms and the villages in-between. These high desert communities are settled by unforgettable people. Many are artists. A careful observation of this art, and the artists, of the California Desert is warranted.

Creative people are instinctively drawn to the desert’s seductive mix of affordability, freedom, quiet and a connection to the earth’s natural rhythms.
