Mt. Pamlico, Ashton Whipple’s tree top home, sheltered his watercolors, collages, sketches, watercolor crayon miniatures and his new poster/mug Oriental Centennial series. John and Juliana Poole’s sculptures and wood carvings added three dimensionality with interesting pieces in the round and bas relief.

Bonnie Kendall and Charlie Bird’s "Caribbean Cottage" studio was an exciting addition to this year’s "Artists at Home." Sited on the edge of a marsh view garden; it is the nursery for a variety of seriously whimsical art.

Visitors are greeted on the left side of the driveway by a six foot tall giraffe descended from a leaf grinder.
