I've been in the arts since I can remember and having parents that were artists I grew up in a very creative environment. I've found my passion with sculpting my Santas after years of trying everything under the sun. My Santas feed my soul and it fills me with joy to have people feel the same when they see my work. My attention to detail has made my Art Dolls stand out among all other Collectibles. In today's 'disposable' world I take great pride in recycling forgotten and cast off fabrics, furs and Vintage supplies into each of my designs. My childhood Christmases were just magical and sharing my Santas keep them alive! My Santa #61 will be published in the Nov. 1, 2013 issue of Art Doll Quarterly...I am beyond excited !!! ** Other doll makers do not offer any of the original qualities of my Art dolls ; the HAND SCULPTED FACES USING NO MOLDS ,HAND MADE BODIES AND CLOTHES WITH MY OWN PATTERNS,MY HANDMADE TOYS AND ACCESSORIES. ALL ORIGINAL
