Bev, discovered cloth doll making about four years ago. She sees her doll making as an extension of creativity from her fashion, sewing industry background. She loves to share this knowledge and incorporates many of these techniques into her creations. To further her knowledge Bev attended Doll U - California in 1999. She taught at Doll-O-Rama in 2000 and was thrilled with the result. She has now gained her Diamond Gold Seal from the National Original Doll Artists Association.

To enhance her teaching skills she has recently completed a one year course in teacher training. With this knowledge her aim is to show you the way which ultimately brings out the creativity within. Bev loves animals, nature, fabric and embellishment and this reflects in her designs. She loves her work to have a purpose and always tries to use some item of treasure from life on each piece so as to personalise the finished product.
