I have been a Bay Area designer for the past twenty years desiging many logos for local businesses and nonprofit organizations while raising three beautiful daughters with my husband.

Although I am a doll lover, I have always felt that there were a lot of unappealing dolls out on the market.

When my children began asking me to make dolls for them, my friends became interested in what I was producing. They started requesting to have them made as well. I soon realized that there were a lot of women out there that liked hand made dolls.

After some time I started getting groups of people together to participate in doll making parties. These gatherings would take up an entire day, but everyone would have a great time socializing and eating while creating their own dolls. It brings to mind the sewing circles of the past.

I don't try to over humanize the features of the dolls. They are meant to look like dolls, not abstract sculptures of people. Color and texture and design are my motivations. Each doll is its own unique self that evolves as I work on it.I hope you enjoy them.
