Since 1993, I have been making original vintage style collectible mohair teddy bears, pandas, hares, ellyfonts, dawgs, jurafs and now zee brahs! Each piece is handmade by myself in the traditional way, using german mohair, wood wool/steel shot for filling,  glass or old boot button eyes and aged leather or wool for pads. They are wonderfully distressed to look like old toys found in the attic!

Most recently, I was a featured artist in Teddy Bear & Friends Magazine and named 6x for top 100 traditional craftsmen in the country by Early American Life magazine.

I live in upstate New York, with my husband, two "very busy" teenage daughters, a lovable golden retriever and my 3 horses!"

I sell to a limited number of fine shops and I participate in a few shows per year.  Please check my website for a shop nearest you or my show schedule.  I also have a blog where you can read about my 'happenings' & news.
