I began my artist training as a child when I would sit for hours and draw my dream houses. I was sure that I would become an interior designer. As I grew older my interests changed and I took a position as an assistant to an artist who designed wearable textile art. In my years in the fashion design business I learned much about pattern design, fabric manipulation, and more importantly, extensive airbrushing and hand painting techniques.
When I began making bears in 1998 I naturally incorporated many of the skills I had learned in the apparel industry to create unique and fresh designs. I hope you enjoy looking at my creations as much as I enjoyed bringing them to you.
About the Bears:
All of my bears are designed and handcrafted by me out of the finest imported mohair and materials available. Each creation is designed with the discerning collector in mind. I enjoy adding handpainted details to my bears and pushing the envelope of traditional bear design.
