My Original Art
Dolls have the artistic expression and quality
craftsmanship, individually sculpted in polymer clay,
creating a detail of realism. The use of coloring,
texture and costuming are added to finish a balanced
theme. The dolls are a collection of tradition, myth,
legend, and yesteryear. I have dolls already made to
purchase or they can be made from a concept of your
choice. Commissioned work is also available.
In addition to original art dollmaking, I also do
original artwork in doll animation, authentic automata,
marionettes, lady dolls and a true favorite of
mine--Renaissance pieces and reproductions of the Old
Masters' works. Other popular themes of my designs are
figurine Santas and poseable porcelain Angels. Whether a
collector or a lover of fine art, my work is intended to
please the viewer and compliment one's decor of living.
I am an artist who lives in Northeastern Ohio. I enjoyed
two dimensional art until 1981 when I started to study
three dimensional works with a local artist. For the next
six years, I studied the structure of the different clays
and basic mold-making techniques. Applying this
knowledge, I progressed to one-of-kind sculptures with
each piece radiating a lifelike essence. My first
collectible was copyrighted in 1988 with progressive
works added on an ongoing basis. It is my privilege to be
able to express myself through my work and I thank God,
my family, my friends and my clientele for their
continued support and confidence.
