| What
are these strange creatures?
These odd dolls are not something you will find in a toy store. They are hardly something you would buy for a child. They are misproportioned, strangely dressed, and they have a story and character uniquely their own. Each doll is entirely hand made using polymer clays, vintage fabrics, acrylic paint, and sometimes real human hair or teeth. Each piece is one of a kind. Beth Robinson began making and selling hand made dolls in 2003. She is a prolific artist with collectors across the globe. Her dolls have been featured in the magazines: Art Doll Quarterly, SPIN, "Stuff" in the US, "Maxim UK" and "Maxim Hong Kong," "Rue Morgue" in Canada, and "Nokia CP" in Turkey, "RIP" in Russia, and "Nordic Vision" in Norway. Her dolls have appeared in galleries throughout the USA as well as in England, The Netherlands and Germany. She is currently represented in the Netherlands by cabinodd.com, in Berlin, London & NYC by Strychnin Gallery, and in Vermont by The Lazy Pear Gallery "Now here's a doll May Canaday would make
if she watched The Brothers Quay Collection while listening to
Nightmare Picture Theatre and hadn't slept in a week. Weird, misshapen
and tortured, these unusual handmade dolls are...definitely not
for children, unless you want them to have nightmares." -Rue
Morgue, 2005 |

Bio |
 Beth
Robinson is a self-taught Vermont artist who has been making and
selling hand made dolls since 2003. Although she found success
with her oil paintings, her life was transformed when a friend
introduced her to Japanese balljoint dolls and the artists that
use with them (eyedia.com).
From that moment she realized that taking her characters off the
canvas and turning them into actual little people would be the
best way to express herself. |
