Art of the Doll

Art work inspired by the doll.

Featured Work

Ophelia 2 by Lyn Fabian

I scanned the original work “Ophelia” (known affectionately as “Barcode Barbie” and deconstructed it a little in Photoshop. I then scanned a very old and unused copy of Hamlet at the Ophelia section and layered it behind. I am very pleased with this work. I printed it on heavy weight watercolour paper.

11:11 Gatekeeper by MoonSpiral

16×20 acrylic on canvas panel Kim Turner put a link to Enchanted doll awhile back on one of her works, and opened a can of worms for me. I am in love with these dolls and want to paint them all. The face in this is highly influenced by one of Marina’s dolls. Everything else just happened and when I realized I would have her finished on this powerful 11:11 I knew she carried that energy Featured in / Gatekeeper Detail /
