Helen Kish is the main souvenir artist for the Ruby Lane sponsored 68th UFDC Doll Convention in Orlando (August 2nd to 5th). Helen Kish has been making dolls for more than 30 years with astonishing genius as an artist, and major acclaim to her credit. In fact, Kish became a doll artist at a time when not many were creating dolls. Her style is unusual because as an art student, she studied drawing and anatomy, as well as other types of art, and applied these techniques to making dolls.
