Type/Style of Dolls: Porcelain reproductions, mainly contemporary, but I have done antique; one-of-a-kinds in Super Sculpey/Cernit blend; and I've made my own molds.
Length of Time in Dollmaking: Nearly six years; took my first class in porcelain reproductions in March 1992.
Professional Credits: I'm a member of several dollmaking organizations and have dolls in 26 States. Since I began making dolls nearly six years ago, I've already sold 457 of them in a variety of mediums, but predominantly porcelain.
Awards: I've never placed my work in competition on a national scale. Awards have been in the nature of recognition of my work via the news media.
Comments on Dollmaking: Dollmaking fills my life, not only as a creative outlet, but also as a form of self-therapy. It is such a diverse activity, and there's always something new and interesting to learn. It's also a social link to others who share my love of all kinds of dolls.
