Anna and Maria began their art careers at an early age. By the age of twelve they entered art school and graduated from Kazan Theater College in 2003. Since their graduation Maria and Anna have been creating art dolls professionally. For their work they prefer static sculpture in the grotesque style. Their works are entirely hand crafted utilizing many materials and techniques (papier mache, clay, acrylic paints, antique lace with natural hair and fabrics).
