Tiny Doors

Hi friends – I so enjoyed participating in McKinney’s Tiny Doors public art installation, which is a cooperative effort between McKinney Main Street, local artists, and Visit McKinney to provide a fun and engaging “tour” or scavenger hunt for visitors and locals.

Beth Fields did a wonderful job organizing the artists to design the doors, and I feel honored to have been selected to create one.

Visit McKinney is the local visitors center, and they created the following links:

Here is the description of the Tiny  Door that I designed  for the Cynthia Elliot Boutique

Deana McGarr is the artist who designed the Tiny Door installation for the CYNTHIA ELLIOT BOUTIQUE. Since the boutique has been in business for over 33 years, Deana and Cynthia aimed to develop a sophisticated door that would withstand the test of time by using a classic architectural style. The mannequin features a one-of-a-kind hand-painted floral dress by Deana, showcasing what is inside the shop. The Cynthia Elliot Boutique is known for unique, unusual, artistic, colorful, and feminine designs. Thus, Deana’s hand-painted floral border added a nice touch to the piece.

I hope you can take the tiny door tour next time you visit downtown McKinney. Hugs! Deana (Dee-na
