About the Book:
"Glimpses of the Joshua Tree Dream" is more than just a photography book; it's a platform to uplift and advocate for artists and nonprofits. In 2020, Lisa and her husband, Bob Aronson (Detroit natives), embarked on a transformative journey to Joshua Tree, where they were enchanted by the landscape and decided to build their dream home. This experience inspired Lisa to create a book that showcases the unique lifestyles of artists living in the Joshua Tree area.
"I yearned for a place of rare beauty, where the mind could find solace, and where living free from societal norms was possible," said Lisa Schyck.
Lisa and Bob are committed to making a positive impact in the Hi-Desert community. Bob continues his philanthropic work in Detroit while also leading local organizations in the Hi-Desert, such as the Morongo Basin Cultural Arts Council and Hwy 62 Art Tours.
Lisa and Bob’s shared vision is to extend the transformative power of the Joshua Tree Dream to the world, inspiring others to break free from the ordinary and embrace the life they’ve always envisioned.

Since it was founded in 2000, KAB has acknowledged the power and vision of our young population–proactively engaging in societal change and passionate about receiving and promoting education–to establish their identities and place in the world through meaningful action. We strive to empower youth to become their own health advocates and believe that art and creative expression are powerful healing tools. “i love boobies!” an inscription on our popular, Supreme Court-stirring merchandise, continues to spark conversation and prompt action globally, as does our work as a leading global youth-based breast cancer prevention organization, with global affiliates in Europe, based in France, and partners in Mexico, Zambia, Kenya, and The Democratic Republic of Congo. Constantly pushing the boundaries of the pink ribbon status quo, Keep A Breast has always encouraged young people to build a loving relationship with their physical health, and be aware of changes.
