I lived in Phoenix, AZ for two years and took many roadtrips throughout the surrounding areas. I'd never heard of Eliphante before and feel very sad that I missed it during my time in the southwest. After reading the New York Times article I had to visit your site. I must say that this work of art really transcends what one would normally think of as "art". It is so beautiful that your husband created something so breathable and livable. I hope this work continues on in the future to inspire more artists!

Hi there, I see you are fundraising. I'd bet if you invested money into a great video editor that you could put it on a site like Kickstarter.org and raise the money you need. You have a very special place that would certainly catch the attention of others, especially if planned with a vigorous sharing strategy. I've seen bigger sums than $40k achieved through the site. But it'll take a great video. I have other ideas as well. Contact me if interested!

What an amazing visit we had this week! Perfect way to celebrate our anniversary! Thank you to Stacey + partner for their excellent caretaking! This place is beyond beautiful! What a gift! And we sooo fell in love with Midas!!! THANK YOU !!! This place must be preserved! :-)

In 2006 we took pictures at Eliphante that we used for our wedding announcements. There is no more unique art exhibit/home in all of the American Southwest.
