My name is Elisa Gallea, I’m 26. I have a great love for several arts. Since I was a child, I have liked drawing and painting, using some techniques such as water-colours, pastels and crayons. I love writing novels and poems too, so I have participated in several national competitions, attaining good results. In March 2004, I took a degree in Media and Communication Studies, with a work about dolls…I simulated an advertising campaign for a famous Italian doll factory “Le Bambole di Arianna”, in Taormina. I’m a dolls collector too: I love both vintage and modern dolls, made of different materials such as porcelain, cloth or vinyl…I have been making OOAK polymer clays dolls since about 3 years...I especially show and sell them in Usa, through great doll galleries...In May 2007 my dream came true, opening a little doll factory in my city, Palermo. Here I make porcelain dolls made from factory molds...however I hope to have my own porcelain collection soon!!!
