Hello everyone! Welcome to my humble page. I have embarked on a
new artistic arena - the art of repainting dolls!
It's quite a revelation and discovery how I ventured into this fresh and exciting challenge.
My wife has been a passionate doll collector for years now. While scouring the internet for dolls to add to my wife's collection, we accidentally stumbled upon repainted Gene dolls by different artists. I was awe-stricken! As an artist myself, I became inspired and challenged to give this fresh form of art a try. I have been involved in illustrated arts and painting portraits for many years and I thought maybe this would be a unique
experience for me. At first I was hesitant to "deface" her dolls. But as it turned out, as I drew from my years of drawing and painting faces, and with my wife's encouragement, new personalities were created out of
her dolls, and of course the rest is history.
With my long appreciation of celebrities, I enjoy repainting dolls. When I first started repainting in 2001, I mostly repainted Gene dolls. As the market became more diverse and other 16-inch fashion dolls were introduced, I slowly branched out into repainting these dolls, specifically the 16-inch dolls produced by Robert Tonner. It always amazes me how these dolls serve as a three-dimensional canvas in bringing to life faces of different personalities and character. Occasionally, I would repaint Gene and the Tonner dolls from my own imagination and ideal of beauty. Both are very satisfying for me.
I am therefore happy to offer here my one-of-a-kind creations that I sincerely hope you can enjoy and appreciate.
Miscellaneous Items
My wife and I would occasionally offer other items for sale, some from our personal collection being as it is that we're a couple of pack rat collectors.
