A six-foot-long illustrated map created by artists Janet Morgan and Gregory Frux
This unique artwork documents the little-known Amargosa River -- fed by ground water, subterranean for much of its journey,
it emerges as a ribbon of life through the Mohave Desert.
The Amargosa is home to many unique and endangered species such as the Shoshone Pupfish, Amargosa Vole and Toad.
The river makes possible several small desert communities along the California-Nevada border.
This fantastic stream flows south into California, turns north and disappears into the salt flats of Badwater Basin in
Death Valley National Park.
The hand-drawn map incorporates paintings and drawings created by the artist couple during extensive explorations of the region. The Amargosa Map provides crucial information for visitors to find hikes, wildlife, springs, marshes, mountain peaks and areas
to avoid.
It gives the traveler an overview of this precious and difficult landscape.
The map was created in collaboration with the Amargosa Conservancy, whose mission is to
“stand up for the wilds, waters, and communities of the scenic Amargosa Basin and Eastern Mojave.”
The artists will donate a share of the sales as well as copies of the map to the Conservancy.
This map is created as limited edition print on fine matte paper stock and is printed with pigmented archival inks.
It is cut and scored, designed to fold to one foot square.
Edition of twenty, signed and numbered. Presale price $350, full price $375.

The
promise
of viewing a total solar eclipse in 1994 inspired a group of artists to
travel
far beyond the end of the
road
into Bolivia’s Atacama Desert.
This book features paintings of barren
volcanic landscapes two
miles
above sea level,
with a story that recounts the magic the mind can create
amid salt lakes, peaks,
geysers and remote outposts that reside far outside
most of our experiences.
Based on paintings created during Christmas 2007 voyage to the
Antarctic peninsula.
Greg and Janet's paintings of Antarctica now
available
as digital prints from the Polar
Arts Program
Cost is $180, without shipping and handling.
