About the Artist

About the Artist
I have been a porcelain artist for the last 18 years, although, most of my work has been in the form of doll house miniatures and porcelain dolls. In 2002 I was awarded Fellow status by the International Guild of Miniature Artisans.

I began working with porcelain when I lived in Australia in 1987. I quickly moved from making large porcelain dolls to making miniatures. When I moved back to the US in 1992 I began to paint on miniature china as well as making doll house porcelain dolls. I have been creating original sculptures in miniature of antique china since 2000. My work in miniatures can be seen on my miniature site Porcelain Fantasies

In 1997 I began to design some jewelry pieces although my main artistic outlet was still miniatures. I am now beginning to expand the jewelry line with beads, Native American style jewelry, Celtic designs, and some asian designs. As a Native American living in the southwest I wanted to take advantage of the location , my heritage and my love of Native American art. I am incorporating some of the designs from the ancient southeastern indians into my jewelry and other Native American art.  Here is a brief overview of the history of the Choctaw which will give a general look at the culture from which I am drawing inspiration.  I am now creating original designs with Native American themes in jewelry and Home Decor items. These items can be seen at Natika's Porcelain Art
