Maria Lynn Grover is not only a sculptor and artist in her own right, she also shares her talents as a mold maker and caster with her fellow artists. She’s excited by the lineup slated to come from Maria Lynn Dolls this year: “Over this coming summer, we will be pouring several new releases from some fantastic sculptors, including soft-body partial babies, full-body silicone babies, and some lovely new miniatures as well.

“I’m hard at work sculpting my own new babies as well and plan to release a new full-body kit in early fall. We’re also working on getting ready to launch some starter kits for new artists just entering the world of painting silicone.

“I’ve received lovely comments from so many, I feel very blessed. I’m glad also for the many good friends and working relationships I have with so many terrific artists in the community. They always inspire me to try to reach the next goal in progressing my skill. I can’t believe I get to do this amazing art for a living!”
