Unleash Your Creativity

I come from a creative family with artists of every kind.  As a child, I loved to sit under the old folks. They were interesting with big personalities. They were characters. I used these characters to tell stories to family and friends.  I took these characters that I held dear to my heart into adulthood.
At the end of a wonderful career as a fashion designer and educator, the character became even stronger in my mind.  Something happened unexpectedly. Where I used to see fashions on models, I started seeing them on "Little People." These little people are the characters of my youth. They are people I haven't thought of in decades. They are my ancestors. Traditions and memories I had forgotten reappeared in my thoughts.

I started recording these categories in the art form of doll making. I AM... glad God chose to speak to me through Doll Making. It is a joy and blessing to teach and document African American history and culture. 

I AM.. passionate about art and design.
