About the Artist

Picture
My purpose for creating my dolls  is three-fold.  First, because I  feel that the God has called me to do this. Second, it is my hope that the viewer  will feel a sense of connection, to the stories, color, fabric, and especially  the spirit of the dolls and third, as an Artist it gives me an opportunity to  make a connection with people through conversations regarding my  art.

The dolls are named as I work with  them.  They seem to reveal to me  who and what they wish to be known as, and usually it is a reference to their   persona.  The dolls are the memory   keepers of the people that I have loved, known, met, or even disliked along my   life’s journey.  Each doll is  created in a tall, spindly shape, with wire arms and legs that bend and loop  with unnatural grace, tightly wrapped in bright Kool-Aid colors of African   fabric.  They remind you of the  prayin Grandmamma, Big Pa, the no-nonsense tuff as nails School Teacher, the  Deacon Uncle who was the neighborhood fixit man, Mrs. Smith the noisy woman who  lived directly across the street and told everything on everybody, Aunt Ollie  Mae Frazier and her Friday Night fish fries, and Cousin Alice mouth-watering red  velvet cake.  I remember these  people.  They mold who I am  today.

 No matter what my personal   accomplishments may be, they only exist because of the praying women and men
 who came before me, so that I may live my life to its fullest.   I am my ancestors’ legacy of hope, perseverance, triumph, and the desire  to provide better for the generations to come.  I am my Ancestors answered prayers…I am 
the Best of Them.
