My youth spent in and amongst Eichlers exposed me to this inspiring architecture. And since 1997 I've had the privilege of interviewing many of you who are lucky enough to live in, landscape, and decorate these innovative, inspiring homes. I lived in one as a kid, and it's good to come home.

      Many of you carry the creative inspiration of Eichlers further, making beadwork, sculpture, music, animation, paintings, even creating architecture itself. Something about Eichlers just brings out this creative bug.

      In fact, two Eichler - based painters, Judy Gittelsohn , and the late Chris Ranes , were the final inspiration for me to get off my tail end (or rather, on it!), and paint.

      One day I'll live in an Eichler again. Until then, I paint in the atrium of my mind, and dream. So this page is dedicated to you, the Eichlerholics, who are living this dream. You're the first ones I wanted to present my works to. Please let me know what you think.
