I write like it's my job - because it is! I have a Master's in English and love words: crossword puzzles, Scrabble games, Wordle, and, of course, good, old-fashioned books.
I'm a writer and editor at OnlyInYourState, and a contributing writer at Cincinnati Magazine. I love the Great Outdoors and am endlessly awestruck by this beautiful country of ours. Coffee keeps me going, yoga keeps me sane, my kids keep me grounded, and my writing keeps me inspired.
The world of LEGO bricks isn’t just for kids — there’s a reason boxes advertise these colorful blocks as “3-99” and beyond. With each and every one of these teeny, tiny bricks, a world of imagination awaits. I’ve seen this firsthand as a parent to four creative kiddos, all of whom prefer building their own creations over following the directions in a box set. It’s not just me and my kids who are captivated by these colorful blocks, either; there are acclaimed artists and master builders who build true architectural marvels comprised completely of colorful bricks. Sean Kenney is one such visionary, and this summer, we’re invited to explore a glorious garden made up of thousands of LEGO bricks at Kingwood Center Gardens in Ohio.
We've all heard the phrase "If you can dream it, you can do it." Never is this more true, nor applicable, than with LEGO brick building. As a parent, I've seen my kids create some truly astonishing objects out of LEGO bricks... but the work of LEGO master Sean Kenney are on a whole different level entirely.
Sean Kenney is a world-renowned, award-winning artist who has been creating art with LEGO bricks for over 15 years. His tenure has included numerous exhibitions and large-scale projects, like the exhibit happening in Ohio this summer.
Here's a bit more about this LEGO artist and his story:

Now through Sept. 17, Ohioans can traipse through a whimsical garden filled with large-scale LEGO models created by the master builder himself -- at Kingwood Center Gardens, one of the most enchanting hidden gem gardens in Ohio, to boot.
Big, bold, and often gravity defying, Nature Connects prompts guests to ponder the intersection between art and nature -- because after all, Mother Nature is perhaps the most skilled artist.
Sparking a joyful sense of awe and wonder in those both young and young-at-heart, Nature Connects will have you gobsmacked by the intricacy of these models. It's completely amazing that something so beautiful is created one brick at a time. Each and every single LEGO brick matters, which is a humbling and inspiring point on which to muse.
Something that's so wonderful about art is that it creates opportunities for shared experiences and open dialogue. Nature, too, presents this opportunity. So this summer, head to Kingwood Center Gardens to delight in a world of LEGO bricks come to life in this enchanting and imaginative exhibit.
What a cool concept! Nature Connects runs through Sept. 17, 2023, at Kingwood Center Gardens in Ohio, and you can purchase tickets to this epic LEGO event through the garden website.
