A new coffee table book celebrating hi-desert artists will debut on Tuesday with an author signing in Yucca Valley.
The book, called “California Desert Artists,” features photographs and essays about historic desert artists like Noah Purifoy and Agnus Pelton alongside contemporary artists including Ben Allanoff, Claudia Bucher, Simi Dabah, Sonja Krastman, Phil Miller, Eric Nash, James O’Keefe, Cybele Rowe, Svetlana Shigroff, Joanna Szachowska, Kelly Witmer and Larry White.
The book is created by arts writer Katie Nartonis and serves as a primer on the artists of the Mojave Desert in a beautiful large-scale format.
Nartonis will be signing copies of the new book Tuesday night at Snakebite Roadhouse in Yucca Valley from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Snakebite Roadhouse is located at 55405 Twentynine Palms Highway in Yucca Valley.
