I hope to combine these life experiences to help other miniature enthusiasts get more out of this wonderful hobby we enjoy, a hobby that often reaches the level of an art form. Susan Downing
Kevin Mulvany, Suzie Rogers, Harry Smith, and Robert Dawson are four of my favorite miniature artisans, whose work I never tire of studying. What they have accomplished with the Palace at Versailles for inspiration is truly amazing.

Susan Rogers and Kevin Mulvany are amazing artisans, responsible for some of the most expensive dolls houses ever made. They have been commissioned to create such 1:12 scale marvels as the Brighton Pavilion, Spencer House, and Buckingham Palace. One of their latest creations is a miniaturized version of the historic Ham House in Surrey which was on display in the 17th-century Stuart manor house during the Summer and Fall of 2016.
