As an electrical design technician with TVA, Susan Miller’s job requires designing and drawing substation diagrams with an accuracy that electricians rely on when making repairs.
As an artist, she’s built her reputation on portraits and landscapes.
Five years ago, Miller combined the precision of her day job with the creativity of her hobby to begin sculpting art dolls.
These are not children’s toys; they are for serious doll collectors.
“I’ve always loved dolls. I got some clay, started sculpting and my first dolls came out looking like little trolls. They were ugly. But I have not been able to put the clay down since,” Miller said.
