I live in Cordova, Tennessee in a house that is on the edge of the Memphis city limits. There are woods behind and on one side of the house so I love seeing deer, rabbits and other misc. critters wandering around us. Animals inspire much of the work I do in my studio in the upstairs part of the house. I worked as a graphic designer and then as an illustrator for many years and began making sculpture about 15 years ago. I've had shows at Memphis' Cooper Street Gallery, Jay Etkin Gallery and Winter Arts. I sell my work in the Brooks Museum of Art gift shop and online.
I'm not quite finished with her but I'm not sure what else I'm going to add to her ensemble. A hat or shawl perhaps? Anyway, I thought I'd show you how she's coming along so far. I don't have a name for her either. Any suggestions?
Here's the next dolly I've been working on. She's a bit smaller than the last two. Her body is already made and she'll be about 15" tall when she's all put together. I've done her hair in an elaborate Romantic Era style so I'm planning a costume for her of the same period.
