I’ve always loved mannequins. For years I kept a couple in my home just to playfully dress and accessorize them.

But that was it. Until… 

A friend gave me a female torso that I decorated with family jewelry, and Walla! Clarice, my first (and still favorite) mannequin sculpture, was born—along with my passion to create more. 

Today, every room in my three-floor home/studio/lounge is filled with my mannequin art. My sculptures are like my family, and there are so many more I want to create! Whenever a new “canvas” arrives, my creative fantasies flow.

Glue gun in hand, spray paint and accessories at the ready, I tune out “reality” and tune into manifesting my latest sculpture.

It’s fun to watch the smiles, surprise, and sometimes raised-eyebrow reactions when people meet my mannequins.

I love all the reactions! It lets me know people are truly connecting with the individual personas of my art.
