This bed is a strong memory from my mom’s bedroom. The carved post and curved headboard always felt solid and intentional—like they defined the space.

I focused on those details, keeping the design clear and structured. Around it, I layered collage from my home—images and textures that echo the space I grew up in. The writing is also mine, pulled from reflections about home and placed directly into the piece.

This is part of my journey—using images and words to hold onto where I come from.

This piece began years ago—and like many things from childhood, it needed time before it made sense.

"Childhood" is built from the language of play: yarn, beads, pipe cleaners, macaroni, and bright, found objects transformed into something whimsical and alive. I recently revisited and reworked it, and now… it finally feels complete.

Sometimes the work just needs to marinate—just like we do. The creative journey takes its own sweet time.

Seriously! Take this journey! Upstairs at The Sparkle Barn in Wallingford, Vermont is the stunning Bloom Room, an immersive installation created by artist Stacy Harshman Art. It’s a joyful explosion of color, flowers, and creativity.

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. ✨

A quiet constellation of prints, arranged in rhythm and repetition. Each piece holds its own story, but together they become a larger conversation about pattern, variation, and the beauty of small differences. An invitation to slow down, look closely, and let the work unfold one frame at a time. Each is a little journey the eyes take in and the soul then ponders.
