Like walking into the fanciest bakery, with brightly frosted cakes or the many colored sweets in the most special candy shops, I wanted the color and texture of something scrumptious, to welcome the viewer. These are portraits of toys I have kept from my child hood. They are well played with but also well cared for. Through a series of portraits, my world…and welcome to it, invites you to experience the beauty and souls given to toys that have been loved a life time.
