Broomfield, Home in the Suburbs

There’s a myth that artists live in seaside towns, remote cabins, or tucked-away bohemian enclaves. But that’s not my story.

I live in Broomfield — a suburb. And in my opinion, the suburbs are underrepresented in art.

I grew tired of seeing only dreamy holiday scenes, faraway sunsets, and picturesque landscapes. What about the places most of us actually live?

This stocking is a portrait of our home — the kinds of trees that line our street, our actual bikes, and even our regular old mailbox.

It’s a celebration of the ordinary, the familiar, the deeply personal.


Because beauty isn’t only found in far-off places — sometimes, it’s right here in the suburbs.
