About Melissa Lakey
From the windows of her studio in Joshua Tree, Melissa Lakey, looks out into the Mojave Desert. When she was growing up she dreamed of being a cowboy, but life takes turns and Melissa ended up being an artist instead. Now her paintings feature cowboys riding through the night landscapes. Her work is a portrait of the landscapes, people and animals of the American Southwest, captured in a beautiful dream like spirit.

You don’t come across a wildlife biologist and nature connection mentor turned into artist and illustrator every day; meet Wyatt Hersey. Hailing from the city of Santa Cruz, his practice is rooted in illustration, painting and muralism, exploring narratives of relational ecology and a better understanding of the ecological systems all around us, while never forgetting a sense of playfulness.

About Anna Valdez
The Californian-based artist Anna Valdez discovered her skill for art making on a trip far from home, an archeology excavation trip to Ireland. Here she was encouraged to keep a sketchbook, creating scale drawings and maps of the site. Through visually reinterpretations of these “abandoned sites” she explored the connection between anthropological and artist methods of cataloguing and record keeping. Working in mediums such as painting, drawing, printmaking, collages and digital media, Anna Valdez examines the relationship between material and cultural identity, using domestic objects such as plants, textiles, vessels and keepsakes as a method of storytelling.

About Esther Pearl Watson
An upbringing in a series of small Texas towns, and a merry bunch of siblings and parents, proved to be the fertile grounds of Esther Pearl Watson’s artworks. Her work features the optimistic and absurd of rural America, showing farmlands, highways, oil rigs, playgrounds and parking lots as omnipresent characters. All the while flying saucers dot the sky as an homage to her flying saucer-building father, Gene.

THE JAUNT IN THREE EASY STEPS
ART AND TRAVEL
The Jaunt is the combination of the two best things in life: art and travel. We send contemporary artists on trips to create new experiences in a different environment. Because nothing is more inspiring than stepping out of your comfort zone.
SIGHT UNSEEN
With newly found inspiration and impressions from their trip, the artists create an artwork which we produce as a limited edition silkscreen print. You have the chance to pre-order the prints at sight unseen, before the artists go on their trip.
PRE-ORDER
Take part in the inspiration process of our artists, and pre-order a print. Support the artists on their trip and receive updates through their travel diary. Once the artwork is finished you will receive your new artwork at home.
