More than mere playthings, Enchanted Dolls are elegantly sculpted and articulated works of art. Strikingly nude, engraved or adorned in opulent sculptural costumes of precious metals, gemstones and rare found objects, each doll intricately conveys an aspect of our humanity. As Marina says 'the reason I love making dolls is because it it's a multidisciplinary art form. To create a doll I get to do it all: sculpture, industrial design, painting, engraving, mold-making, drawing, metalwork, fashion and jewellery design. I want it all!'
