Making dolls, to me, is the natural progression of a childhood spend doodling away. I have spent my life drawing and sketching mostly whimsical and sometimes "a-little-out-there" characters. After realizing that I would never be happy leaving my characters on the page, and tending to enjoy the doodles and the process more then the finished polished work, I let them out.

I have been happily sculpting since 2006 and love to see my techniques improve and fingers grow more nimble with every doll I make. I love to gather inspiration by searching out talented artists and have spent a king's ransom on fabrics, nicknacks and treasures to adorn my creatures and clutter my shelves.

When I sculpt, things just have a way of coming out by themselves, as if they are preexisting and just choosing to come out at the very moment I pick up a lump of clay. As I tickle faces and fingers out of the clay I weave and discover the life stories and anicdotes that define my characters, just like you and I have stories that make us who we are.

I am inspired by Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Gorey, Waterhouse, Art Nouveau, Klimt and by the great children's book illustrators of the Golden Age-Dulac, Rackham and the such. I love to give my dolls a range of expressions and styles, I don't like to be weighed down by convention too much.

I hope you enjoy viewing my dolls as much as I love making them. They are all completely original, hand made down to the last detail by me. Like every artist will tell you, once you realize you can make what's in your head real and the unending potential, you really have no choice but to continue...
