We Met at the Dump

Carol and Tom Dean never believed that they could be artists. But all that changed when they started crafting together in their workshop--teaching themselves drawing, painting, and woodworking.


We Met at the Dump is a celebration of how life changes. Though sometimes change is bittersweet, it can bring about some of the happiest experiences of our lives. Through their unique love story, Carol and Tom found happiness with each other and their newfound hobbies and interests, and hope to inspire others with their story.
