I have been involved in commercial art all my working life, with an emphasis in fashion illustration. After the birth of my first daughter I decided to work from home and started freelancing. Although I enjoyed my art and work, it wasn't until I became involved in doll makeovers that I became passionate about it.

Barbie shows were the main outlet for showing my dolls,in the begining, then I was asked to attend The National Barbie Convention in Atlanta, where Barbie Bazaar took note of me. Before long, I was the featured artist. The magazine hit the stands just as I put my site on the web, and I haven't looked back since. In my third year of making dolls, I dropped all my other freelance work and concentrated on creating and selling my dolls.

The appeal for me is the pure joy I have in transforming a doll into my own personal vision. As I work, I decide who this little creature is, and what she does. Her expression and each item she wears or carries is pertinent to who she is. Each creation is a work of art, and a tiny soul that is brought to life by my hand. I believe this is what draws collectors to my work.
