Artist Statement: For me the creative process begins with inspiration. The inspiration can come from a historical fact, a piece of fabric, or the need to try a new technique. I began making dolls for friends and family over 20 years ago, with simple patterns, each getting more elaborate. Then I discovered the world of art dolls and polymer clay. When I work with dolls, I am reminded that they are all self-portraits. It is my view of the world that I am portraying.
