Whimsical Sea Life Chair by Katie Gardenia

Katie Gardenia began making dolls around the age of 31 because she never had a doll as a child. Katie's whimsical figures have a magical almost old-world quality about them. Bringing fabric and texture together in such a way to evoke personalities in her doll-like figures so that each evokes a unique character. Katie also creates jewelry, unique upholstery, and items of clothing such as an embellished shawl that she made for the rock legend Stevie Nicks. Another one of Katie’s greatest pleasures was designing and needlepointing 12 dining chairs for Lady Bird Johnson while living in San Antonio, TX.

For years, Katie owned the whimsical Bubble Room restaurant on Captiva Island. Katie authored a book entitled “A Bubble Moment” which is a combination of a cookbook and a coffee table book. Since selling the restaurant in 1989, Gardenia has concentrated on her art. She is a gifted artist who brings the world of dreams and fantasies to life with her creations.

This unique chair is approximately 28 inches wide by 40 inches tall and 30 inches deep.
