Featured Doll
Trickster Spirit:
A mix of fox and human, my Trickster Spirit doll
is a complete body scupture in Super Sculpey applied to a substantial metal armature. The fur was applied in small amounts by hand
to mimic natural fur growth patterns.
My New Kai Doll
Kai, Last of the Brunnen G is my second creatiion of this
famous Lexxian character (LEXX was a popular SciFi show just a few years back). This doll features a complete replica of his Brunnen G "assassin"
outfit, primarily made
from Chenille yarn in variegated color sewn to a thin cotton lining. Embellishments include hand dyed velvets and silks to match, with sterling
silver beads. I also included his brace in great detail. For further details, and photos of Kai in the making, please vistit this special section of my site...

About My Fantasy Doll Art
I love fantasy stories, faerie lore, mythology, legends, folklore, magic, action adventure. Every time I make a doll, these are the sources I draw upon to express a story, to capture a moment in time, a fantasy character poised in an instant of exploring, considering, or being surprised by events that are about to occur. My husband said of my work, "She creates a tension in the design of her dolls that motivates the observer to speculate as to what the next action of the dolls might be, or what might have occured before to account for their present attitudes, precipitated by the capturing of a single, perfect moment."
As examples:
Talon intently examines a Bigfoot track in a muddy bog . . .
. . . while Arden rests against a tree on the edge of some enchanted lake, gazing into the dark forests he is about to enter . . .
. . . Meanwhile Aidan, Arden's younger brother, hunts for lost treasures amid ancient ruins.Read may more about me as a doll artist and my doll art here.
