Dealer Stephanie Blythe: Figures & Fantasy

Doll artist Stephanie Blythe creates divine fine art porcelain figures--many times inspired by fairy tales and fantasy. A long-time member of NIADA, her figures reflect a great talent for sculpting and painting. Costumes utilize natural materials and bits of antique fabric, lace and trim combined at a highly intricate level. She shares a table with Sylvia Mobley. Email: s.blythe@comcast.net.
