The Founders of Beautiful House

Beautiful House is a joint venture between James Neufeld of Magnetude Media and Shainin Hudda of SoulDaisy Designs. See OUR CONCEPT and OUR HISTORY for more info on Beautiful House special events or check out some MISCELLANY.

While we haven't had many events in 2003 and 2004, Beautiful House is much more than special events. It is a concept and a community. We continue to stay in contact with many of the artists we have met over the years who have become our friends. Beautiful House is very much alive today in the one-on-one relationships that have formed and we will continue to bring you special events from time to time..
