Cindy McClure’s first sculpting piece was completed in 1982, after starting to learn to make porcelain dolls in 1980. Today Cindy is one of the most distinguished Ashton Drake doll artists of all time, designing various masterpieces exclusively for The Ashton Drake Galleries.
Cindy McClure’s own personally made pieces are extremely rare and seldom seen for sale, however other companies have reproduced some of her work and these are sold on the secondary market.
Cindy McClure is one of a few artists in the world to continuously win the prestigious International “Doll of the Year” Award (DOTY), the International Dolls “Award of Excellence” , and the Ashton Drakes “Dolls Of Distinction”. In all, McClure has been recognized with more than 40 important awards for her creations.
Cindy McClure has a three to four year waiting list for her one-of-a-kind sculpts. She rarely signs dolls anymore and those that have the honor of owning an autographed doll are extremely privileged.
Ashton-Drake, the leading supplier of McClure’s reproductions, is justifiably proud of its long-standing association with her. Her reproductions are sold around the world. Both talented and highly versatile, McClure has won the hearts of collectors with her pretty little girls, adorable babies and toddlers, Native Americans and elegant brides.
