More information about Anna Zueva
Anna Zueva has been working as a self-employed doll artist for more than 15 years. She specializes in sculpted paperclay dolls (up to 20 inches tall), including manual production of tiny details and dress tailoring. Each doll is created according to the author’s unique design and usually exists in a single copy. These are not dolls for children, but collectibles and objects for specialized art doll exhibitions.
Anna Zueva and her new dolls are constant participants of national and international exhibitions of doll art. In 2004, she became a member of the two major Russian professional associations for doll artists – “Creative Union of Artists of Russia” and “Ural Association of Doll Artists”. Anna Zueva’s selected art dolls are permanent exhibits in the “Kukolny Dom” Doll Art Gallery in Perm, in the “Parsuna” Doll Art Gallery in Kiev (Ukraine), and also in “Karina Shanshieva’s Gallery” in Moscow.
