About Me:: I am a folk artist, and have been sewing since I was about 4 years old. I started by drawing my own paper dolls and clothes for them, then learned how to make simple dresses for my Barbies.
I have always loved the arts, whether it was creating with play doh, sewing, drawing, teaching myself to play the piano - whatever I could do to keep my little mind and little hands busy!
I love to make OoAK dolls, and give special attention to the details in their eyes, where I feel their personalities really come out. I use pencil water colors and acrylics.
My dolls are dressed in vintage fabrics and accessories, each signed and dated.
