In 2017, a friend of mine introduced me to a young woman she had met in the ruins of a town called top Cisco, Utah. Eileen Muza was from Milwaukee, a grower of green things who had bought a small parcel of parched desert to make a home for herself on her own terms. In 2018, I wrote and illustrated a magazine feature about Eileen's life on "garbage island," as she called it at the time. This giclee reproduction of the original watercolor cover illustration measures 11" x 14" inches. It is printed on high quality watercolor paper, signed by the artist, and suitable for framing. $5 from each sale will go to benefit the artist's residency Eileen and her sisters have started in Cisco, Home of the Brave.
