- Joe and Laura are partners in both life and art — two creative spirits moving side by side through a shared landscape of imagination, vulnerability, and devotion. Joe is drawn to the language of photography, while Laura’s world unfolds through surreal and abstract painting and drawing. Alongside their individual practices, they create collaborative diptychs together: visual conversations born from trust, intuition, and years of shared experience. Neither began life imagining themselves as artists, yet art called to them with undeniable force, and they chose to follow that calling fully. Today, they breathe, dream, and live art together every day.
For Laura, drawing and painting are acts of emotional and spiritual revelation. Her work emerges from the subconscious — from memory, compassion, longing, and deep human connection. Honored by the University of Arizona at the Women’s Plaza of Honor for her contributions to the Tucson community through teaching, counseling,...

- Archaeology doesn’t always mean a shovel in the ground—for multi-disciplinary artist, Athena Solan Apodaca, the tool she often uses to excavate the urban and psychological landscape is a sewing machine.
Athena explores social equity and patterns of urban behavior through creating multimedia visual entanglements. She consciously maintains a minimal carbon footprint in her process-oriented work through using repurposed materials and domestically developed renewable resources. Her solo exhibition “Generally Fabricated,” featured her unique style of contemporary landscape art, which blends sewing, sculpture, painting, and drawing to explore the undoing of physical and cognitive space. Her art transforms ordinary materials into relics and artifacts of collective history: threads become roads, fabric forms windows, and pencil sketches imitate power lines. All are symbols of how people and communities can rebuild from history to organically create change within the struc...

Before the area was protected, local residents exploited and decimated the forest with little regard for its ecosystem. Though logging was once the cornerstone of the Loma Alta community, the current inhabitants now realize the importance of the fog forest to their livelihood. Fog is captured in the lush vegetation and drips to the ground, eventually flowing down to water the crops of Loma Alta. This episode also features a visit to a “hummingbird oasis” where researchers observe the varied species the forest has to offer.
From Season 17 of The Desert Speaks, originally aired in 2008.
