The Kish & Company website is back!

Hello again to our friends & collectors and welcome to anyone who is here for the first time!

We will be offering dolls for sale, some vintage, some new and some never seen. We will also be offering other items that go into the building of a doll: parts, wigs, clothing, even some fabrics! Helen is ready to pass on some of her beautiful books on clothing design, fiber arts and fashion. It will take some to get everything photographed and ready for print, but beginning now, you will find new entries frequently in the 'Shop' section.

A quick review of my postings five or more years ago in the 'Musings' section showed a recurring thread - the desire to get my hands back into clay. I thank God that He has guided me in that direction, for in these last few years the challenges have been great, the frustrations frequent, but the joy enormous; all for the glory of God. Perhaps I will find time for another musing or two. In any event, we remain faithfully yours, Helen & Tamas

Helen Kish began sculpting as a child in the Colorado snow. While her brothers were making snowmen, she endeavored to sculpt the Blessed Mother. Sculpting continued to be her passion throughout school years into college and commercial art school. Predominantly self-taught, Helen was blessed to study with Master Sculptor, Maestro Bruno Lucchesi for two summers in the late 1990's.

She has been married to her beloved husband and long time business partner Tamas for 55 years. While raising their three children, Helen began sculpting little figures which eventually turned into a small home business. She also sculpted and designed collectible figures/dolls which eventually turned into dolls for many commercial companies; such as the Pleasant Company (home of the American Girl doll), the Franklin Mint, San Francisco Music Box Co. and others. Eventually, Helen and Tamas started their own business, Kish & Company, which produced a line of collector dolls annually for several decades.

After returning to the traditional dolls Catholic Faith of her youth, Helen's artistic focus pivoted to religious figures. To date, Helen and Tamas have designed and produced a number of bas relief tiles depicting Saints, with new ones in the works. We have also collaborated in building 'Santos' (dressed half figures) with a steel cage base - see Infanta below). There are a number of figures in various stages of completion in resin in our own studio at this writing; in addition to commissioned work. We are producing finished pieces in resin in our own studio. Additionally, we are returning to having Helen's sculptures cast in bronze. All pieces are by commission only and, by definition and default, strictly limited.

We have added a new section called Eye on Eternity Studio to feature this work.
