I love escaping from the mondane, and just letting every feeling and every worry...just disappear onto paper or a sculpture! Art calms me!

I like to collect Lost and discarded dolls. The Forgotten and unwanted, my childhood was all over the place and financially we were not blessed .. I would see children with these beautiful dolls... And I never really had any of them. As I grew up I begin collecting a lot of different things and the first time I found a discarded baby doll that was a little beat up and bruise and missing an arm and an eye, I decided to take her home and make her beautiful again. But my beautiful is different.
