In a place known for minimalism, Liz is maximalist, as epitomized by her annual birthday party. Every year, it seems like she invites everyone she’s ever known to congregate down in West Texas and dance and laugh under the big sky...2023-10-1819 minMarfa for BeginnersBONUS: Marfa GroupImagine if there was a community Facebook group for your entire city, where everyone posted all the time.
