My fascination with how we shape our environment into a sense of "home" led as far as writing a chapter in Lindstrom & Bartling's SUBURBAN SPRAWL. In a hands-on sense, Dad built my first dollhouse (which I still have) when I was about three. In my twenties, I collected vintage tin litho dollhouses, but when we moved back to California, I sold the collection and started over with my original dollhouse and whatever I could build myself.<br /><br />In ordinary life, I've abandoned both California and college teaching in favor of Arizona and (currently) working at a real estate investment firm. I build my houses partly to decorate and partly to tell stories about the lives of the inhabitants.
