Introduction	I have been a full time artist for the past 20 years. I believe my personality reflects some whimsy and humour and I try to infuse that into my work. Although most of my dolls are generally fantasy figures, such as faeries, elves and brownies etc.,I also love incorporating new styles into my work. So don't be surprised to see a steampunk doll or a mosaic piece. I also like to dabble in many other mediums such as mosaic windows, shabby and vintage style decor and jewelry. I am always searching for ways to express the whimsical nature of my imagination. Even after beginning a piece, although I may have an idea of what I want to create, sometimes the piece has a mind of its own. That in itself is very exciting. My work has been featured in Contemporary Doll Collector, Doll Crafter and Costumer, Art Doll Quarterly, and Soft Dolls & Animals. In May 2009 I won 1st place people's choice at Canadian Doll Artist Association Competition as well as 2, 2nd place ribbons in the master/invitational categories faerie wishes and pixie giggles Leslie
