"MOST INCREDIBLE HOMES"
AND "WHIMZEYLAND" Kiaralinda and Todd's Iconic House and Studio is on the premier episode---they are the masterminds behind Safety Harbor Art and Music Center!
WHIMZEYLAND-Our other colorful creation only 5 blocks from Safety Harbor Art and Music Center
In 1985 the house on Third Street was small, brown, and ordinary. Then artists Todd Ramquist and Kiaralinda bought it and moved in -- and the neighborhood has never been the same.
The house is now the center of "Whimzeyland," a riot of bright paint, tile, and yard sculptures. It's also known as "The Bowling Ball House" because over 800 hand-decorated balls are a big part of the landscaping. Bowling balls are arranged in piles, wind along flower beds, and perch on pedestals, embellished with smiley faces.
Todd and Kiaralinda, childhood friends who lived a few doors from each other, moved to the cozy and art-friendly community and began Whimzey's transformation. They are full-time artists; part of the year they travel to art shows, selling their work and meeting folk artisans, painters, and sculptors.
The main house is painted in bright, happy colors, with murals of star fields and rainbows. The yard, which originally had just two spindly palm trees, is now layered with lush foliage, tile work, found objects, and sculptures. There are blue bottle trees, a fountain, junk art animals -- something unusual no matter where you look. And lots of bowling balls.
Todd and Kiaralinda recalled how that started: they were at a local flea market when they saw a sign: "10 Free Bowling Balls Per Person." They grabbed twenty, called a few friends, and quickly had 60 bowling balls. They lined their property, augmenting the black ones with patterns and faces. In their art show travels, the pair enlisted other artists to create bowling ball art. Over 80 participated; the results are in Todd and Kiaralinda's book "On the Ball." A selection of balls are exhibited in a small building that they call The Bowling Ball ART Museum.
