About Our Art
A Doll maker since 1994, My doll designs are imagination and fantasy based. The Santa’s are what i have imagined that Father Christmas or Pere Noel would look like. As the Santa takes form there is a personality that develops in the building. The faces are cast from my own original sculpt. they are individually hand painted specializing in design and execution of one of a kind Santa’s.The wigs are natural fibers and all of the fabrics, furs and finds are vintage and unique. These dolls are mounted on hardwood bases, and are numbered. They stsnd approximately 34 inches tall. Custom orders are preferred. this allows for a collaboration between artist and patron. I am able to incorporate special pieces and memories from the patron and then to reuse and recycle bits of vintage and antique fabrics furs and finds.
I also have developed fairy and mermaid dolls. These are smaller and a little less elaborate when compared to the Santa’s overall. Again fantasy and imagination based, they have hand sculpted and painted faces, fiber hair and there clothing is a mix of vintage fabrics and silk and velvet flowers. The fairys stand about 12 inches and the mermaids depending on the pose can be anywhere from 12 to 18 inches. tall Custom orders are of couse welcome.
