MIRANDA TRIMMIER

Writer and artist Miranda Trimmier sits outdoors on a rocky retaining wall. Next to her is a wooden board, filled with sliced tomatoes and cucumber and lemon. She's looking slant at the camera, with a sly smile on her face, her body facing a scrubby vista, with rolling hills, white rock walls, and arid soil.
