Mary Paulsen's Crazy Art

Wendy, Simon and I were driving to Holden Beach on the way to photograph Kate and Jacob's wedding. We passed what seemed to be a wonderland of treehouses and other inexplicable objects along the side of the road. The next day on our way home, we had to stop by to see what all of the clutter was. The visual cluster of objects was the amazing work of Mary Paulsen. We wandered through her whimsical maze of treehouses, and glass houses, and trash turned to art collections in awe and with a little bit of trepedation (those treehouses I'm pretty sure aren't built to code!). Mary was sitting inside one of her creations rocking and listening to some loud gospel music. She was kind enough to step outside and share some of her ideas behind her work. We left feeling inspired at her drive and not a little overwhelmed with what we saw. Definitely check out this woman's work if you ever visit to Holden Beach!
