Building Wonder: Bonsai Treehouses by Dave Creek

Pacific Bonsai Museum honors the creative legacy of Dave Creek, a lead character designer for Bob’s Burgers, through an extraordinary exhibition celebrating his unique art of creating miniature treehouses.  See six, meticulously crafted treehouses integrated into dearly departed bonsai, along with photographs documenting Creek’s life and creative journey, quotes highlighting his creativity and passion, and a representation of the mobile “van life” studio Creek created to work on his craft daily, even in remote locations. 

This exhibition will be the first time that the general public will be able to view the treehouse sculptures outside of children’s hospitals. The exhibition is mounted in partnership with Dave Creek’s Traveling Trees, a non-profit organization established in memory of the late artist, Dave Creek, to bring joy and wonder to children, inspiring curiosity and passion for art and nature.

The exhibition will be on view in our Pavilion from February 11 through December 21, 2025.
