I live in Seborga, a small, picturesque village near Bordighera, in the beautiful "Riviera dei Fiori". In ancient times Seborga was a Principality of the Cistercians. I'm married and I have two children, 4 and 11 years old.

In my small workshop, I used to paint on glass and porcelain and make various creations using découpage, salt paste, sewing and so on. I did this until a few years ago but am now entirely devoted to my beloved dolls.
I began moulding small dolls made with salt and synthetic pastes, trying in the meantime to find new materials to help me create other kinds of dolls.
After some time searching (five years!), I finally found all the materials and methods I needed. I began working with fabric dolls and then, after attending some training courses,I started making my first porcelain dolls. The end product may seem simple but perfecting theis manufacture was a painstaking and labourious process, albeit a labour of love.
At the moment I sculpt dolls made from polymer clay (Cernit/ Prosculpt), which allows me to practise my favourite techniques like sculpting, painting and wing (my sewing skills were handed down by my mother, who is an exellent dressmaker).
One of my great passion is the REBORNING ART... and now I'm totally devoted to my REBORN BABIES!!!!!!
My great inspiration is an article I read in a magazine called "The Magic Wanded", entitled "A Shelter for the Soul", which for me sums up the art of doll-making
Now, I'm proud and...very happy to announce that my "babies" are reproduced in vinyl by ASHTON DRAKE GALLERIES, REBORN DOLL KITS and by MASTERPIECE DOLLS .
I have been honored to have sold over 300 BABIES all over the world and have had my DOLLS featured in numerous MAGAZINES like "DOLLS", "CONTEMPORARY DOLL COLLECTOR", "SOFT DOLLS AND ANIMALS", "LA BACHETTA MAGICA"...and many other Italian magazines :o)
THANK YOU and GOD BLESS!
