Her collection (gathered over 10 years) features more than 31 Cairn Studio gnomes by artist Tom Clark. The gnome collection has grown so much, in fact, that the family has purchased a wall unit to properly house it.

 

ÒI try not to go crazy, because I run out of space,Ó Wells says. The detail and unique characteristics found in each gnome make them irresistible to her.

 

ÒTheir faces are so unique. They have such expression and detail in their faces, each one has their own personality.

 

ÒThey look to me as if they each have a secret that they know, and itÕs up to me to guess what it is.Ó
