Hi and welcome to my web page! I am the designer and creator of One-of-a-kind Fine Art and costumed Teddy Bears. My extensive background in the entertainment field lends a distinct look to the teddy bear characters that I create.

My work has been featured in newspapers, on TV and in collectible magazines. I am thrilled to have been featured in an issue of "Teddy Bear Times and Friends" Magazine.


I have over 40 years of experience in costume and fashion design and construction for some of the world’s most famous Las Vegas shows. In the past, I spent 8 years as a Costume and Shoe Technician for Cirque du Soleil’s KA'. My background includes 14 years as the Lead Seamstress for the Siegfried & Roy Show and 6 years as the Costumier for Nevada Dance Theatre, Nevada Opera Theatre, the Mickey Finn Show and various Las Vegas productions.

Over 30 of my teddy bears were featured in a 3 month exhibit here in Las Vegas which displayed my teddy bears exclusively.

I was asked to create 2 of the Broadway Cares Bears. The bears represented the Broadway shows, Ain't Misbehavin' and Sugar Babies and were signed by Mickey Rooney, Ann Miller and Nel Carter. I have created boxer character dolls for Leon Spinks and Larry Holmes. One of my "Show Bears" honored Liberace and was shown in the Liberace Museum next to the famous Fabergé Egg costume that it represented.

I currently teach Collectible Teddy Bear Making Classes at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.


“Join me in a world where the love of art is combined with the joy of the teddy bear.”
