Imitation of Life in Huggable Art

by Pam North

Although she had been an artist most of her life, graduating with a BA from Stockton University in visual communication/graphic design. Tiffany Campbell had never heard of a ”reborn” doll until she stumbled upon one on YouTube. She instantly was amazed and intrigued. She now paints blank vinyl reborn kits and her own silicone editions, and sculpts for the purpose of reproduction. “I am somewhat new to the doll industry, “she explained. “My journey into this wonderful art began in February, 2013, and from there I basically dove in headfirst. I made my first reborn, Molly. and by spring of 2015, I had started sculpting my own editions to be produced in silicone.”
Tiffany cites her family as her source of inspiration, saying, “My children actually influence my art style; their features as babies often come through in my art. My daughter has a little Y-shaped vein on her right jawline, so I make sure to include her signature vein on every doll that I paint. It’s my way of putting a little of my heart into every doll that I create. My dolls are a great way to capture those first precious memories of a baby’s innocence in a tangible form forever. All my babies are made with quality craftsmanship, love, and care. They are weighted so that when one is picked up and held it, feels like holding a real baby. Not only are they cute, but they are very snuggly. They are painted with quality paints, and their rooted hair is made from premium mohair. If taken care of properly, my babies can be enjoyed as heirloom pieces and huggable art for many years.” 
Tiffany commented on what she sees in her future regarding her craft. “Every year I see many aspects of the doll world growing in popularity, and I think it’s wonderful that a love for something as innocent as dolls can bring so many people together in such a positive way.”
She currently is working on continuing the completion of her full-body edition, Cirrus, which was released last year, and she hopes to release her first vinyl edition sometime in late 2019 or early 2020.
