When she was diagnosed with cancer, she decided to take on an opportunity one of her true friends offered her years ago: join a little community off the grid, deep in the Arizonian desert. She moved there alone, and keeps making sculptures, at ease with herself, and surrounded by true people who don’t care about her fame. |

She decided to join her father, who is in a group of patriotic vigilantes who patrol the Mexican border, watching for illegal immigrants. |
