Description
Hello Everyone!
I have recently moved out of Joshua Tree, Ca and over to a little town outside of Phoenix called Cave Creek.
I am staying in my super large RV for the Winter of 2025. I am looking for Workawayers who want to create artwork for a week or two out here in the desert. I live fairly remote. There are no buses that come out here, but I do go into the city once a day.
If you have an art project you are working on please message me if you would like to come and stay a while. Your Workaway is to create or complete whatever art project you want to do.......I have had really good success with this in the past, so I am continuing this idea in my new desert life.
OR
If you are a traveler just passing through you are welcome to stay a day or two as well. We can make yummy food and go hiking.
ALSO I can use help with pet sitting while I am away, so you are also responsible for watching my lovely cat Samantha and my house while I am out.
Wander the park during the days, walk through town and create your artwork. This is about you as much as about me.
Tell me about your ideas. I want to hear. I want good ones. Good ideas. The best.
Also some guidelines to follow while you are staying with me ::
1.) My home is non-smoking of all things. Inside and out.
2.) If you do go out please be back at a respectful hour--this means you don't close down the bars. I do work, so have a fairly normal sleep schedule.
3.) Please make sure that Samantha (cat) does not get out at night. She has survived two Winters now in the coyote laden desert because I make extra sure she is inside at night and does not get out.
4.). Come with a plan! This is super important. I am looking for people that already have ideas, are mid-project or have a serious drive to complete a project they are working on.
5.) Don't get distracted from your project. Hooray! You have a cool project, are meeting all sorts of awesome desert people and loving it......BUT please remember why you wanted to come to my place. You are here to create----to make something and put it out there----please be true to your guide--and do not forget.
6.) Please be traveling through. No relocations. If you are planning on moving to the desert on a permanent basis my home is not for you. If you are a traveler, artist, musician or other and are passing through my place is for you.

Help
Come with an art project in mind, then create it while you are here. That's it. Make something cool.

I stayed for a week and really appreciated the way he opened up his home. It was the perfect space for me to relax and get organized, be useful with yard work/cleaning/assisting Aaron with his upcoming move to the desert, and to connect with fellow travelers.
I feel fortunate to have had this experience… read more
We helped him in his garden, in the house and we cooked. We also had time to explore the city, parks and the local lake which is very close to his home.
If you go to Seattle, you… read more
