"That one is stealing everything that is left on my work table! He makes items fall on the floor to play with them. He once took a tiny doll I was dressing and I could never find her again!"

She is also a collector of Art Deco and Art Nouveau miniatures and dolls.

"My own miniatures are more modern or the intemporal food. It is my heartfelt goal that my miniatures make people dream and forget all of life's troubles," she said.

Her pieces are available at fairs, including Miniaturitalia in Milano, Italy, and in the UK as well as her CDHM Gallery and her website, for price ranges of £1 to £25 for miniature pieces, £40 to £100 for kitchen table or counter displays and £70 to £150 for dolls.
