Marlene designed the original collection and Tania did all of the painting.Born and raised on the West Coast of British Columbia, Marlene was the inspiration for the creation and development of these wonderful works of art. A student of the Royal Conservatory of Music and a member of the Theater Guild for many years, the arts have always played an important role in her life.Born in Maple Ridge, B.C., Tania showed promise as an artist from the age of five. At eight, she received her first art award in a province wide Canada Forest Products poster contest. Tania eventually studied architectural design at UCFV in British Columbia, graduating in 1992.As the demand grew for the XENIS Collection and new design themes, Marlene and Tania hired on a team of highly skilled artists to assist them in design and production. Teaming up with Willitts Designs gave them the opportunity to expand their already demanding market.Making of a DIVAThere are many steps involved to create these DIVAS. Each DIVA goes through a concept idea that is sketched out, followed by sculpting, and then a final wood prototype.The perfectly carved wooden body goes to the seamstress who will work with many fabrics and colors to custom fit the perfect gown and accessories. Each face is meticulously hand painted and licensed hairstylists do their hair.Hand carved out of Canadian maple or other selected hard woods, adding the Diva trademark carved swirl at the bottom of each base. Each solid wood body is hand carved, sanded and varnished treatment.Each face is hand painted and airbrushed to fit their personalities. Clothing is also tailored to each of their personas. Fabric is purchased from all over the world to design each gown.The Divas can strike a pose by adjusting the arms or turning their heads. Each wooden sculpture has a complimentary marbleized base.Doll is approximately 21" Tall by 4" Wide by 6" Depth Item# 75004C2003EXCELLENT Condition!
