Dolls."Looking for a new creative avenue, and wanting to escape from working on the flat surface, I eventually began to explore the possibilities of fibre arts and soon found myself drawn to doll making. My previous experience as a children's illustrator, lifelong interest in fashion design and understanding of pattern making and sewing came together naturally in this new line of work which provides me with constant surprises, challenges my creative abilities and gives me great pleasure and satisfation".
