I mainly sculpt my dolls in clay and cast in porcelain. I create very small Artist Signature Edition and One of A Kind Dolls, that are totally designed and created by myself. I am self-taught and began making porcelain dolls in 1982. I have won many Best of Shows, Best of Category, and my dolls have been featured on the cover of several magazines, and also featured in numerous doll magazines. I was featured on CBC TV regarding my doll artistry. My doll "Tracey" has been displayed in The National Museum of Civilization in Canada. My dolls were also displayed in a Japanese Museum.

For my dolls I am fashion designer, pattern designer and drafter, fabric designer (graphic design and hand print), seamstress, wig maker, hair stylist, painter, hand embroiderer, do hand smocking, shoemaker, hat maker, hand bead worker, jewelry maker, do crocheting, floral arranger, prop maker, graphic designer for digitizing embroidery, photographer, author and self-professed fabricaholic (I love silks to cottons).

Motto: Dolls are a way of sharing your feelings. By weaving your feelings into a doll, it becomes a tangible lasting expression of your own unique art and as a gift or selling to collectors, the warmth that is shared and sparked in their hearts is a blessing that continues to come back a hundred fold. This love of dolls is a universal bond that Artists and doll lovers around the world all share. My hobbies are sewing and photography.
