About the book:
Glimpses of the Joshua Tree Dream is more than just a photo book; it is a platform to support and promote artists and nonprofit organizations. In 2020, Lisa and her husband Bob Aronson (born in Detroit) embarked on a transformational trip to Joshua Tree, where they were enchanted by the landscape and decided to build their dream home. This experience inspired Lisa to write a book showcasing the unique lifestyle of the artists who live in the Joshua Tree area.
“I longed for a place of rare beauty where the spirit could find solace and a life free from societal norms was possible,” said Lisa Schyck.
Lisa and Bob want to make a positive impact on the Hi-Desert community. Bob continues his philanthropic work in Detroit while also leading local organizations in the Hi-Desert, such as the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council and Hwy 62 Art Tours.
Lisa and Bob’s shared vision is to extend the transformative power of the Joshua Tree Dream to the world and inspire others to break out of the ordinary and embrace the life they’ve always imagined.
Videography:
The event will also feature “The Making of the Glimpses of the Joshua Tree Dream,” which offers an in-depth look at the creation of the book and the artistic journeys of those involved. There will also be stunning drone landscape videos by Aydra J. Swan.
Music:
The original music was composed by Lee Scott and adds an acoustic layer to the intense cultural experience of Catching the Joshua Tree Dream.
