Three Queens
"These are so beautiful and quiet, even though the colors are so bold. They seem prayerful."

Profile Information
- Where I live
- Washington, DC, Studio located in Riverdale, MD
- About me and my connection to fiber art & mixed media
- Mixed media artist and OOKA doll artist based in the Washington, DC area. I love the versatility of fabric as my base medium, especially batiks. The beautiful colors and intriguing textures of used in fabrics have led to my recent obsession with fabric and fibers. Adding other media such as yarn, acrylics, beads, and metals to this base brings contrast to the fabrics' natural warmth. Finding new uses for what I have on hand has often been the impetus for creativity throughout my life.
My goal when I create my dolls is to take what I have and what I find around me and make something better; something that's positive and transforming, but is also expressive of my personality and experiences.

I draw the faces using colored pencils pens and sometimes paint. I sometimes use clay faces too. I also teach the methods I use in classes here in Chandler AZ. I am a participant in a monthly art walk and have my dolls displayed in a gallery and another shop. I had one doll published this year in Soft Dolls and Animals Magazine.

- Hi Sherry, I hope that you Holiday was extra special. I am looking forward to begin my work with my african fabrics. I would love to pick up with my African Masks. I even had fun making my first African paper doll. It was a flat piece of 5" white foam and we had to embellish it for a surprise gift for a friend.
Your dolls are beautiful and so colorful.
