Annie Girl Doll, Cora

Cora flaunters her "elder" grey curls while she wears a muted multi-colored pattered dress. She carries a soft yellow gauze shawl that matches her turban. She is adorned with a black, gold and yellow beaded necklace with a shell broach. She holds a basket of tiny yellow berries and straw. Measures 14 inches tall.

Michele Sapp is the artist who creates these wonderful dolls called, "Annie's Girls". Michele's Grandmother, Annie, was a very independent, proud and spirited African-American woman who never forgot her humble beginnings. She was blessed with a loving family, wealth of talent and the amazing gift of "creating something from nothing". She saw beauty in the most common of objects. These One-Of-A-Kind Dolls are a tribute to her unique gifts and vision. It is Michele's hope that they embody the regal beauty and enduring spirit of not only her grandmother, but that of all women as well. Michele Sapp's work can also be seen at the Detroit Institute of Art Gift Shop.
