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 building 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 working towards taking my work to Miniature exhibition shows, UK and State side, so watch this space.
