Imagine, this was his tenth doll house!

Meet Eric Lansdown, one of the world’s foremost dolls' house and aviary artists whose studio in the south of France is as enchanting as his creations. The craftsman, currently exhibiting at Homo Faber in Venice, works inside the village’s medieval bishop’s hall - an atmospheric space where Roman temples, French châteaux and Napoleonic bridges stand tall.

Born into a family of artists in San Francisco, Lansdown’s parents encouraged his creative endeavors and craftsmanship. His father was a decorative painter who worked for wealthy families, painting their homes, holiday retreats, and yachts. His mother, Carole, restored antiques. Lansdown also spent some of his childhood in the American Southwest, where he lived with his aunt, the prolific muralist Edith 'Edie' Hamlin, married to Maynard Dixon, master painter of the Southwest. Lansdown’s current home in Gabian, France, is in part a celebration of his aunt’s legacy, featuring never-before-seen portraits of her by her friend, Ansel Adams.

Lansdown's passion for craft began with a strong connection to wooden boats and sailing ships; from a young age he had an innate feeling that he'd built a Viking ship in a former life. He built impressive boats throughout his childhood, and in the late 1970s even set up his first dolls' house and aviary studio in a once-sunken, resurrected 90-foot fishing boat on the San Francisco waterfront less
