Mona Adisa Brooks has been doing art professionally for 60 years. She works with a wide range of medias, including, painting, porcelain, and fiber. Today, Brooks primarily makes mixed-media dolls.

“I work with porcelain, wood, fabric, and anything else that inspires me to bring my characters into being. I start by forming the porcelain with my hands, letting the clay guide me to uncover the personality that is in the making. I am most inspired by the element of surprise that emerges. I feel I am in a kind of collaboration with raw materials and time.”
