freedom for me and my very youngson in 2003.  On the way I found love, family, friends and a form of art that fills me with joy and contentment; I love my job!

 

I call myself a doll customizer more than a doll repainter, since I try to create a complete character from head to toe and I often fabricate every little detail.  Many times I have counted on the help of other artists to create certain pieces of clothing that I might later alter.

 

This form of art allows me to combine two passions of mine: doll collecting and sci-fi. My first couple of years I work almost exclusively with TV shows and movies like Star Trek and  Star Wars, and TV nostalgia shows like Lost in Space, he Munsters and Batman 1966, among others.  Later I found my inspiration in fantasy and super heroes, from comic books, TV shows and movies.  Recently I have been requested to recreate celebrities like Beyonce or Taylor Swift, which I gladly do although I must confess that sci-fi is still my primary love.

 

I was very happy to accept the invitation of  Laurie Leigh to join this group, first of all, because I have been a faithful admirer of her work for many years, and secondly because it has given me the opportunity to exchange information and tricks of the trade with many fellow artists. To find this niche has been a very fulfilling experience.
