 devoted wife, loving mother and grandmother, the artist has been sculpting porcelain originals since 1995. She draws her inspiration from family members and beloved friends. You will see her granddaughters reflected in the faces of some of the dolls in this collection. A skilled instructor, Anna has been teaching others in sunny northeast Florida the art of making modern and antique reproduction dolls for the past twelve years. Featuring artists from around the world, her seminars are eagerly anticipated. The artist drew the encouragement to begin sculpting originals from her mentors Hildegard Gunzel and Jack Johnston. While her shop is located in Orange Park, her sculpting studio is situated in a more serene setting—her home on the shore of lovely Doctor’s Lake. Born and raised in the mountains of Virginia, the innocence of a country childhood is reflected in the sweet faces and rosy cheeks of each of the artist’s creations. |
" olls are the reflection of our inner selves—our past, our present and our future. To love dolls is to honor the stages of human life. In the face of a child is reflected the innocence of our world. The experiences of a lifetime are reflected in the face of an adult. To be able to truly capture that human essence and portray it from a hand full of clay is my artistic dream."

Thank You for your interest in my art. Each of my sculptures is finished with the highest quality materials. After numerous firings to complete the porcelain, each doll is assembled using full body armature and premium grade fabrics and fill.
All are hand painted, numbered and signed by me. Their glass eyes are from Europe as are their finest quality mohair and human hair wigs. Attired in natural fabrics, shod with leather shoes and accessorized appropriately, each creation is reminiscent, in look or personality, of someone who has touched my life.
All dolls featured herein are created in limited editions of 8 – 40. Whenever possible, interested collectors will be referred to participating shops in their general area. |
