Tattered Moon - Art Dolls - Folk Art - Whimsies
Growing up, one my favorite places to explore was my Grandmother’s closet. Mesmerized by the boxes of buttons, shelves of fabric, coats and many hats, I’d spend hours investigating all her treasures. With the colors and textures speaking to me, I would create images of décor in my mind while being absorbed into a world of creative energy. Thus, the artist was born………..
All of my designs are original and one-of-a-kind. Although I have a B.A. Degree in the Arts, I am a self-taught doll maker. I have no formal way of beginning my process. I just start playing with textured fabrics, trims and digging through my many boxes of treasures. From there I start cutting and feverishly mixing and matching. Following my bliss, I create all the little monsters and characters of my imagination. Every once and a while, I will create a sketch or paper pattern just to keep me in line. People often ask: What inspires you? The answer is simple: Everything! I am inspired by my children, all the places I've explored, and the people I have met. My passion for detail is intense. My need for laughter and humor is a must! Whether I am people-watching in the city, antiquing, or jumping around a junkyard, my creative pulse is constantly beating. If my creations make you laugh or smile, I've done my work. I hope they warm your soul and tickle your heart.
