A new venture for Pauline and Bob...... Click on the images to enlarge
On the 4th April we opened an Art Gallery in Inverloch. In partnership with us are Arthur & Robyn Nilsson, and Elaine & Hugh Goodman. We are showcasing fine art from local Artists, and from those further afield. The ART GALLERY of INVERLOCH is located at: Shop 3 / 7 A'Beckett Street, Inverloch. (In the Arcade, next to ResCom Real Estate). Take a look at our site www.artgalleryofinverloch.com Please call in if you are in Inverloch. We still work hard to produce our dolls. "Pene" is selling out her edition fast so please get in touch if you want to secure one.
************************************************************************ NEW GIRL FOR 2009 Pauline has been busy creating a new girl "Pene", and she looks stunning. But you be the judge.......... Click on the picture to enlarge. Pene is 30 inches tall, with a human hair wig. Her eyes are made for us by an Oculist, and her shoes are hand made leather. There is only 10 in the Edition. Please note: There have only been 2 dressed in the clothes that you see in the photo. So, you can request your own style, or we will dress Pene in a similar, modern fashion.
THERE ARE SOME MORE PHOTOS ON THE "WHAT'S NEW" PAGE. ************************************* Pauline began to sculpt and create her "children" in the mid 80's and has not only become recognized for her talent in her native Australia, but has made inroads into international markets. Over the past nine years, trips to the United States have seen Pauline awarded trophies at the International Doll Expo (IDEX) on almost every occasion. In 1998 Pauline won the IDEX "Best One of a Kind" award for her "Mary Lou". 1999 saw the "Best Porcelain Doll over $1300" award going to Pauline's "Margot". In 2000 and 2002 Pauline was awarded "DOTY" (Doll Of The Year) award nominations for "Ayla" and "Tina". Again, 2004 saw a DOTY Nomination awarded to Pauline for her "Gracie". Last year, we were lucky enough to have yet another Nomination for Pauline's "Alice". "Alice" was also awarded "Best in Section" at the Melbourne Doll Show, April 2005, in Melbourne, Victoria. On our last trip
to the US we were
thrilled to be awarded another DOTY Nomination for "Sienna"
"Sienna" was also judged "Best in Section" at the Hahndorf Doll Show in South Australia. Pauline works, with her partner Bob, from their Studio home in the beautiful coastal village of Inverloch on the south-east coast of Victoria, Australia. Inspiration for new work is gained from photographs, from children seen in their travels, or occasionally, the visions are simply in the mind. Over the years Pauline has gained a reputation for her work portraying Australian Aboriginal and African American children, and these have become a trademark of Pauline's work. Pauline recently commented..."The lips, eyes and noses allow for definition, and are such an important aesthetic part of the final creation. They are such beautiful Children".
