The need to personalize our homes is a defining human characteristic. For some, this need becomes a drive to transform their personal surroundings into multi faceted works of art. This colorful and inspiring 400-page book explores the work of these vernacular artists whose locales, personal histories, and reasons for art making vary widely but who all share a powerful connection to the home as art. Written by Leslie Umberger, with contributions by Erika Doss, Ruth DeYoung Kohler, Lisa Stone, and Jane Bianco.
