THE INVITE

We have always said that the backdrop to our love story was the dramatic landscapes of Trans-Pecos, up to the high desert of northern New Mexico. It is our Twilight Zone— a cosmic space where time stops and senses tingle. We’ve spent days soaking in the lithium springs along the Texas-Mexico border in Ruidosa; watching day turn to night in the Fort Davis Mountains; taking in the creosote bushes after a summer rain in Van Horn; stopping for roadside lunches outside of White Sands; and making countless runs down the ski slopes in Santa Fe and Taos.

We’re born and raised Texans who fell in love during our desert migrations. Love birds if you will, characterized here by the mischief and humor of iconic Texas Grackles. This is the story we wanted to tell through this custom art piece created by Austin-based designer, Mishka Westell.

It is intended as a keepsake for our guests.

Mishka has created artwork for many of the world's most revered musicians, events and publications.  All prints are illustrated by hand and screenprinted, or carved into a block and then hand printed on a press. She also works in watercolor and ink.
