Dewees Cochran

Dolls are many things to many people. They can be playthings, investments, collectibles, companions, historical objects, or educational tools. One of the greatest things that a doll can be, however, is a testament to its creator. Having recently fallen in love with some particularly lovely and well made dolls, I found myself searching for more information about their origins. In no time at all, I also found myself in love with the story of their exceptional creator, world-renowned doll artist Dewees Cochran.
