Description

A pretty, cute or creepy doll (depending on how you see her)..

She is named Freya after  the goddess of innocence from Norse mythology. I chose to name her that due to the large daisies on her head. The daisy is the goddess, Freya’s sacred flower. I painted over her original facial features with dark brown/red dotted make-up and bright red lips.  Which I did to contrast against her blue eyes. She still has her tiny teeth showing which was a part of her original painting. The dress is a rough yet intricate hand-stitched patchwork made using painted scraps from an old mattress cover. A belt of overlaying patchwork pinches in the dress at the waste. He head, arms and lags are move-able whilst also being a bit top-heavy but can still stand well enough on her own. Each patchwork piece has it’s own individual colours and textures as they were hand-painted by me. She has her original white shoes with flower imprints which have some wear and tear. Her golden hair hasn’t been changed at all as I thought most of the ringlet curls were still intact.

Approximate measurements L: 33cm x W: 19cm.

  • I am a multi-faceted artist. I have been making various forms of art all my life. My days are spent putting work, passion and love into the things I do. I'm very experimental with a lot of my art. I like to improvise as I'm going along and let my subconscious mind express itself through different methods and materials. My art is the most important thing to me because it is my therapy. In times of distress and sadness I bury myself in creativity and work. I'm autistic as well as regularly suffering with anxiety and depression. Life is an uphill battle and since childhood I've always found that creating is my only true solace.

    My most recent projects have been focused around mixed media textile art. In addition to this I also sculpt clay faces and either alter or hand-make dolls and anthropomorphic sculptures. Some of my accomplishments as an artist are; illustrating 15 children's books for author Chrisi E. Da Pavlova, selling artworks and handcrafted items on Etsy and Ebay for over 8 years, having my art featured in American author Tantra Bensko's book 'Word Swell', earning a First and National Diploma in Art and completing a year studying Illustration, BA Hons at Lincoln University.
