Donna has been an artist all her life. She started as a child sculpting or painting anything she could get her hands on . She studied with a number of well-known artists and taught art with the college system in California. When she became acquainted with the doll world, she decided this was for her. Dolls included all the things she was familiar with and loved to do. Sculpting, painting and design, all in one place, sounded too good to be true. So she immediately went to work and became one of the best-known doll artists in the world. A DOTY winner, Donna loves her work with dolls.
