Lolly has been creating works of art since the early 60's when she decided it was time she found a hobby. She was raising 5 children at the time and found a ceramic studio giving classes right in her neighborhood. She signed up eagerly and by time the 70's rolled around, Lolly had mastered the art of ceramics, acquired 2 kilns, and opened a ceramic studio in her own home. She taught 4 large classes Monday-Thursday every week. This she did for over 15 enjoyable years During this time, she added to her knowledge by taking many different art classes in a variety of subjects. She became a porcelain artist and among other things, made reproduction dolls. She has won many a blue ribbons for her works. She has a great love for the antique dolls which she has collected for many years. Lolly also offers a service of repair for antique dolls. Lolly says, "that through all these years she has come to find that doll people are very nice people" Lolly now lives in charming cottage, nestled in the woods of upstate New York with her husband, Chuck. |
