	Juliet Bice creates dollhouses as statements which resonate not just from her powerful, established sense as an artist, but also from within a deep, personal knowledge of children, childhood, child-play and education. Mother of four young daughters, she has been instrumental in establishing Waldorf schools in the Buffalo, New York area.  (Below, is her reflective statement about our culture's materialistic obsession with mass-produced glitz and its resultant, tragic loss of individual inventiveness.) Her houses all, for a time, become the play domains of her own children and the children of friends.  Occasionally they are done by commission; some she gives away; some are sold at school auctions; but each work is uniquely personal - never tailored to a recipient's whims, although she conscientiously seeks to satisfy a special client's ideas and needs.  (See the marvelous family memory crèche created for the Kratt family, as an example this kind of personalized statement.)
