Sculpting and drawing as a pre-schooler and sewing as a pre-teen; I've been selling my figures for over 20 years, pre-Etsy. At the heart of my daily practice is an abiding sense of sustainability; a commitment to using only organic materials such as earthenware clays and beeswax. Likewise, vintage apparel and linens beyond restoration are the mainstay of my fabric stash. Most of my costumes give new life to the work-a-day clothes of the last century. Every component of a piece informs my process, and often a nuance of personality will arise out of the remnant itself; my subtler way of doting on the planet and on the palpably silent past of so many storied objects.

An artist member of the National Institute of American Doll Artists for 25+ years, I will celebrate my 13th "Etsyversary" on this amazing platform in June 2023. Both are associations of which I am very proud, professionally, and for which I am very grateful, personally. I could never have imagined how being a part of each group would enrich my creative life! I want to encourage everyone who stops by my little Etsy shop to STAY CREATIVE! (And if I can help you with that, I am honored and grateful for your custom.)
