My Personal Vision Statement

My personal vision is to leave life better than I found it… better than how I have previously experienced it…and enjoy the remainder of my life to the fullest. To embrace my maturity, yet dream with the abandon of a child! To never stop working at becoming my optimum self: physically, emotionally, intellectually, creatively and most importantly spiritually. To that end, I will maintain a lifestyle of healthy living, self-affirmation, determination, and action! I will retire“refired” and financially sound, start my school, and love again. I want to be a living legacy for my grandchildren! My faith in God , obtaining my goal weight and staying physically fit are foundational to accomplishing this vision. I believe that I can do all things through and by the power and grace of Christ who strengthens me.

My Source and Inspiration!

"And I have filled him (her) with the Spirit of God, in wisdom and ability, in understanding and intelligence, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship..." Exodus 31:3 (amp)

*There is no vehicle which displays the Glory of God and the Wonder of God as clearly as the arts. Art is the reflection of God's creativity, an evidence that we were made in His Image. – Martin Luther

*For the Lord God is a Sun and Shield; the Lord bestows [present] grace and favor and [future] glory (honor, splendor, and heavenly bliss)! No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly Psalm 84:11 (Amplified Bible)

*Successful and unsuccessful people share the same 24 hours every day. The only difference is what they choose to do with them. - Me

*You can't use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have - Maya Angelou

Artist Statement / About Me

CREATIVITY is hard wired in my DNA. It is my life’s blood and blessing. Creativity is the force that drives my passion to experiment with new art forms and my curiosity to work with and combine different mediums. Captivated by the textures of fibers and textiles, mesmerized by the beautiful colors of beads, and intrigued by the promise of a found object, my creative nature has led to my interest in bead, fiber, and mixed media arts. For over 30 years, my creative journey has been a glorious discovery of mediums, techniques and the evolution of my art.

I am an African American, culturally inspired fantasy mixed-media 3-D Fiber Artist, creating one of a kind figurative sculptures using fabric with an array of other mediums. I also creates using, bead and mixed media embroidery, hand and machine felting, fabric dyeing, painting, stamping and manipulation. My other areas of interest include: collage, polymer and paper clays, mosaic tiles, jewelry making and scrapbooking.

My, Me Poem Rap

I am not so down with the rhythm and rhyme
Caus' the spoken word is not a skill of mine
It's with needle and cloth how I spend my time
My dolls are an expression of what goes on in my mind

DollinDiva is who I was made to be

The joy the birth of my dolls bring is hard to explain
They are simply a labor of love that involves no pain
I procreate with every loving stitch and stroke
That's why they are not for sale ...I'd rather stay broke

DollinDiva is who I was made to be

Doll making is my God-given gift and my blessing to share
And God's sneaky way of giving me a source of self-care
My dolls are so much more than toys
They are my release, my legacy and my expressed joy!

DollinDiva is who I was made to be DollinDiva by the Grace of God is me!!!
