Oh! This pink chair! When reading in it as a child, it was covered in green velvet. Its bigness made me feel warm and safe. Mom reupholstered it and I dyed it pink to try and cover up the fading fabric. I think I will need to pick a new covering eventually. Yet, I do appreciate its worn and loved look and feel. Maybe I just let it be: loved and lovely in its own way? I feel an impulse to reinvent it, but undecided on the direction. Thoughts anyone?

There’s something timeless about miniature worlds.

My dollhouses are rooted in the one I had as a child—the one I still have today. It wasn’t just a toy; it was a place where imagination stretched beyond its walls. Every room held a story. Every object carried a quiet kind of magic.

Now, as I create, I find myself returning to that same sense of wonder. I’m not just building small spaces—I’m revisiting memory, reimagining details, and letting intuition guide what belongs and what doesn’t. I am mindful of how these dollhouses become layered spaces of past and present, where childhood curiosity meets the artist I’ve become.

In each tiny room, I’m reminded: the smallest spaces can hold the biggest stories.

A funky lamp from my childhood home—full of patterns that pulled me in and never let go.

This collage is about that fascination… how color, shape, and repetition taught me how to see.

Memory turned into pattern, and pattern became a way back to and from this memory.

This bed held more than sleep—it held wonder. I used to trace every curve and swirl, getting lost in the details my mom chose so carefully, her sense of beauty shaping how I first saw the world. Repainting it now feels like reopening that space—where imagination, comfort, and love all lived together. Mindful of how the memory isn’t just visual… it’s something I still carry, something that continues to guide what I make.

This piece brings me back to my parents’ bedroom—the bed that always fascinated me growing up. I was drawn to the swirls, the carved details, the quiet beauty of it all.

My mom had an incredible eye. Her taste filled our home with moments like this, and without knowing it, she taught me how to see.

This collage is a return to that memory. Mindful of Mom's sense of beauty.

This vase has lived with me longer than I realized.
It sat quietly in my childhood home while my mom filled every corner with beauty, color, and care. I didn’t know then that it was teaching me how to see.

The flowers aren’t imagined—they belong to the memory too. The colors, the fullness, the way everything felt alive and intentional. Mindful of how painting this feels like reaching back and holding something that was always there, waiting to be seen again.

This is what memory looks like to me—layered, textured, and still blooming.

Upstairs at in Wallingford, Vermont is the stunning Bloom Room, an immersive installation created by artist . It’s a joyful explosion of color, flowers, and creativity. Mindful of creatives who inspire me, and this definitely inspires!

And don’t skip the gift shop downstairs—it’s just as spectacular as the magical space upstairs. Truly a place built for wonder and inspiration. ✨
