You know that one house where all the kids want to play after school because they have the best toys?
In my case, it was my friend Cara's house. Her mom, Diane Bronstein, created the best art projects for us to do and she would let us rummage through her art collections. We spent hours in her mom's jewelry studio in the basement making necklaces and bracelets out of her "extra" beads and playing with art materials that were deemed "too messy" in my own home.
Diane is the cool mom. A painter, photographer, jewelry designer, and all around artistic maven, she fills her home-and businesses with art and creativity.
"My loves are painting, drawing, photography and design," Bronstein said. "Somehow I manage to always incorporate that in every business."
Bronstein has had an eclectic career. From heading up advertising for a decorative accessories company, to owning several of her own business, including Mrs. B's Quality Kits, to painting furniture, she has traveled extensively and studied art throughout Europe
