Artist

 

My name is Donna Lee and I am the artist here at

Donna Lee Originals

 

I was born in the early 1970’s, and I currently live in the state of Maine.

  I was married in 1990, and am still married to that same man today (the love of my life)!

As a child and adult I have always loved and collected dolls.

  In 2002, I saw some dolls on EBay that looked just like REAL babies. I was fascinated and just had to have one for my own collection. Then after examining the doll in person, I thought to myself, “I can do this!”

And thus began my journey into the art of reborning dolls to make them appear more life-like!

 I practiced this art for a few years, until my desire for sculpting originals took over. I wanted to be able to freely create lifelike babies from my heart.

 So in January 2005, with no formal (nor informal) background in Art, I began sculpting babies from clay.

  Within one year, I was under contract with a few doll companies (Masterpiece and Ashton Drake Galleries). Soon afterwards, I began to reproducing my own sculpts into Limited Editions of silicone and resin. I have also recently sculpted and re-produced my own vinyl-kits for reborning. I have four children whom we have always home-schooled. Our oldest son (now 18) is under contract with Ashton Drake Galleries for his sculpts as well.

I love infants and would have had many more children if it were possible. I have spent countless hours studying their facial features and expressions trying to capture the innocence of a newborn baby.

 I feel that God has given me a gift, and has guided my hands in making these sweet baby faces!!

Through these infant sculptures, I want to demonstrate that children are a blessing and encourage the mommy in all of us to flourish.

 I set a high standard to make my babies as life like as possible; and my inspiration has always been from real babies in the world.

 My greatest influence in this journey has been my dear husband.

He has always been my biggest fan; standing beside me, encouraging me, and gently pressing me to go forward every step of the way.

 My goal in sculpting is to be able to Capture a Moment in Time,

and give other women a "Memory" that they can Hold in their Arms Forever!

 

Sincerely,
