Sue Shefman's Hippolotofus House
Hippos and horses and mummies, oh my. Come with us on this visual tour of the art and architecture on the 2017 Weird Homes Tour Houston. Stops included Bonnie Blue's art house, Sharon Kopriva's artist's haven, Sue Shefman's Hippolotofus House, Kelly Amen's KGA Compound and Anne Reese Hernandez's portrait home. This year's tour also took us to Selia Qynn's secret garden, Rebecca Lowe's The House of the Tree, Dirk and Susan Stronck's The Journey Through Time house and Alix Dunn's working studio. VIP insiders were able to check out the amazing art in the Lester Marks Collection. Let's keep Houston weird.
