Welcome, my name is Sylvia Smiser. I am a self taught artist. I enjoy creating one of a kind art dolls and sculpted figures. Vintage Halloween styled artwork and Dia de los Muertos art dolls is what comes naturally to me and what I am most passionate about creating. I am a proud member of the wonderful art groups EHAG (Eclectic Halloween Artists Guild) and PFATT (Primitive Folk Art Talk & Tea). I am a participating artist at Ghoultide Gathering. I am honored to have been published in Art Doll Quarterly, Dolls magazine, Somerset Studio Gallery and Celebrate 365 Magazine. I am also a Physical Therapist and Mama to 15 year old Boy/Girl Twins. My husband is a wonderful man who is very supportive of my art and together with our two doggy fur kids we make one happy, busy family.

Barnabas Collins OOAK Art Doll

Good evening, 
I wanted to share my latest creation with all of you.  He was a commissioned piece for a very nice collector and the biggest fan, I know, of the show 'Dark Shadows'. 
I feel honored that he asked me to do this for him.  I was so happy that he was pleased with the end result!
Although there is a movie on the horizon with Johnny Depp playing Barnabas Collins, this was made with the original Barnabas Collins, Jonathan Frid in mind. 





In Memory of Jonathan Frid
