We spend plenty of time in our houses during the summer. A house can be a cool refuge, a sentimental space, or a place for some creative inspiration during vacation. A house is often more than just the walls and a roof, and, this summer, artists including Suzanne Klotz, Dana Lemoine, Kathryn Maxwell, Damon McIntyre, Laurie Minnick, Brian Painter, Phil Rowland, Sarah Rowland, Matthew Smith, Polly Smith, Emily Stergar, and Kris D.
