| Hello and Welcome! My name is Lyn
Trenary. I am the mother of two grown children and work part time as a Registered Nurse.
As an only child I grew up in a country home surrounded by woodlands. Daily adventures
enhanced my love of nature and stirred my imagination.
I have always enjoyed some form of creative outlet throughout my life. Four years ago, eager for a new challenge, I purchased my first box of polymer clay. And so began my doll making career. Now my efforts are concentrated on miniature character and fantasy dolls. I was awarded Artisan status in May 2000 by the International Guild of Miniature Artisans, and Fellow status in March 2003. It is important to me that I capture the carefree joy and innocence of childhood and convey these feelings in every doll I create. A golden acorn accompanies each doll. It symbolizes the elegance of nature and its promise of great successes from humble beginnings. Recently in conjunction with a fellow artist I have opened a studio of art named "Tabourey". There, I offer doll sculpting and watercolor classes. I hope to guide others to the excitement and joy of creating! |
