Born in Ballarat, one of 5 children, and spent my Childhood, mostly in Cavendish,

My husband and I moved to Clunes in 2011 from Ballarat, where we lived for 27 years.

When my mother passed away in 2015, I decided to display my dolls and miniatures as a memory to her.  Mum was very proud of what I had achieved.

My husband Arnold passed away Christmas Eve 2021.  He was always helpful in making doll stands and building for everything to go into.  He was great at making tiny bits for my miniatures.

He was my number one supporter, also very proud of my abilities.

I have been making Porcelain Dolls for over 40 years.  During this time, I have completed 3 Apprenticeships, A Teachers certificate, and a Master of Doll Making in Antique Reproduction Dolls.

I have decided to reopen my display to the public, so visitors and the people of Clunes can enjoy what I love doing the most.  The Dolls and Miniatures are situated in a lovely garden of Natives, Roses, Fuchsias and succulents.
