                         About: Shirley Ann MacKillop

​​

• I was born in Oban (The highlands of Scotland) in the 70's From a very young age I always had the desire to create using some sort of arts and crafts form. Drawing, painting, sewing—the list is endless. I was only ever happy when using my creative side.​

• ​

•    I became involved in miniature work after builiding my first      12th scale dolls house at a college course with my Mum in the      late 90's. From there I went on to make miniature foods,          dolls and some larger scale fairies to sell on eBay which   

•    allowed me to be a stay at home Mum for my then two boys.      Although I wasn’t very good in the beginning they all sold

•    so it spurred me along and I was also very determined.

•    I continued to sculpt more dolls, mainly fairies, always            ​​​  learning something new with each one.

•      ​​​

•    I got back into 12th scale miniature work again a few years      ago now all 3 of my boys are all grown up. I have found my

•    happy place with 12th scale dolls and Wee fairies.

•  

• ​   I feel now I have grown as an artist, but will strive to              continue growing and learning more with each sculpture that      I make. Each one of my creations that appears from the

•    clay, whether it be fairy or doll, makes me so happy Knowing      that I created it from within!

•       

     Currently I am am working towards taking my work to

     Miniature exhibition shows, UK and State side, so watch

     this space.
