17″ Resin “The Collector” A Limited Edition Artist Doll by Pat Kolesar from the Designer Guild Collection. The doll came with the following information:” Born in fabled Brooklyn, New York and raised on Long Island, Pat Kolesar now lives in Ohio where she’s been married to her husband, Don for 35 years and has raised four children. A sculpture and painter all her life, she began sculpting dolls in 1980 and found her true art self. An award winner since 1981 her unique and wonderful dolls have won more 25 awards, including a 1997 nomination for a Doll of Excellence Award. She “Marches to a Different Drummer”, and Pat’s creations are never ordinary. In fact, the only thing, besides exquisite quality things one can expect from Pat Kolesar, is the unexpected.
I purchased the doll in 1997 from the Home Shopping Channel.
