Coincidences by definition are remarkable concurrences of events or circumstances without apparent casual connection. However there comes a point when it’s hard not to question if it’s something more. Was Erika Lloyd’s pandemic road trip plagued by bad luck and coincidences or was it the “something more” we fear?

So, the title of my podcast is Art Dealer Diaries, and I named it that because it's all about the people that come through my life coincidentally and also by design. Well, today happened to be one of those special coincidental days. An artist happened to come into the gallery to poke around the Maynard Dixon Museum and it was like, "Oh, I love your material."

I'd never known her,  never met her. I wasn't familiar with her work, but when I saw a portfolio of one Whitney Gardner, it just resonated greatly with me. I said, "Yeah, let's show your work if you want us to." And she was like, "Great." So that's how I met Whitney. She's quite unique and has her own voice that you can see when you look at her paintings.

Whitney's been living in and painting the Mojave Desert for 12 years. That's a hard subject to try and tackle and she's done a beautiful job. So then I said, "Let's go record a podcast if you want to?" And she said, "Yeah, let's do it." So it was very fun, and spontaneous, and I'm just thrilled to have her on board at the gallery.

So please enjoy, Whitney Gardner on episode 220 of the Art Dealer Diaries Podcast.

Was the organized theft of a 600-pound petroglyph-covered boulder from a canyon near Ridgecrest related to the monster earthquakes that followed? Probably not, but we can't exactly prove otherwise. Brendan Maze calls in from Trona.

How do we not die in the desert this summer? One way is to stay underneath the swamp cooler, reading and writing letters, to and from various denizens of these arid lands.

The holiday so nice we celebrate it twice: once when the snakes come out, and once when the snakes go back in the ground for their long winter's nap.

Joshua Tree has gone from turkey farmers to elaborately costumed weekenders, but the Old Testament view of the desert always comes true again.
