Little Housdens on the Grow....

My Stepsons, Dillon and Collin, and my own children Roman and Piper, (ages: 14, 11, 5 and 1) are my biggest inspirations. They've all grown so much, so fast. I love sharing stories about each of them, but my oldest stepson Dillon has been my "art buddy" throughout the last 6 years or so. Watching his talent growing from an interest to a passion, and his abilities grow from interesting to passionate, is really such an awesome process. He reminds me a lot of myself at his age regarding art: always crtitical of his own work, but proud. Yearning to learn as much as he can- and intaking everything I have to teach him. He loves to learn. He does so much on his own, just watching others and their craft, that he reminds me that much more of myself. He takes inspiration from music, culture, faith and family. All of our children are talented, amazing human beings, but I am so interested to see what Dillon does with his artistic talents.
