For 25 years, Glenda Hooker's miniature dolls and vignettes have
been regarded as the finest of their type in the world of collectibles.
 Each piece is a one-of-a-kind, hand-sculptured work of art.  
Glenda captures the life and script
of her subjects.  With realistic detail, she brings a lump of clay to
life.
Glenda, who has had no formal art training, specializes in
sculpturing miniature people who represent a wide variety of
ethnicities and cultures.  Every doll and vignette is a Glenda
Hooker original from head-to-toe, including the hand-sewn
garments and details like jewelry and eyeglasses.  The dolls, which
are one-inch scale, are lifelike mirror reflections of people we all
seem to know.  The bodies, built on a wire armature, are flexible
and "posable," enhancing the realism that has become the
signature of every Glenda Hooker creation.  A passion for realism
and an eye for detail drive this artist to produce works that have life
 and personality.
Glenda Hooker's pieces have been displayed at miniature, doll,
and art shows across the United States and Europe.  Local,
national and international publications, including The Los Angeles
Times, The Smithsonian African American Art Newsletter, and
International Doll Magazine have featured stories on Glenda's
unique talent.  A large collection of her

work was purchased by the Museum of Miniatures, in Los Angeles, California, the largest museum of its kind in the
world.  She has created likenesses of and prsented her work to several famous people, including Sammy Davis Jr.,
Dionne Warwick, and Collin Powell, who wrote her a letter praising her talent.
Current events as well as historical characters are often depicted in Glenda's vignettes.  Her piece on the O.J.
Simpson trial in miniature received much media attention.  Local affiliates of NBC, CBS, and ABC, as well as CNN and
Entertainment Tonight broadcasted stories about the trial in miniature.  The American Bar Association took it on loan
for a full year as part of its "Famous Trials in American History" exhibit at the American Bar Association Museum of
Law on the campus of Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois.
In the days and weeks following the tragedy of 9/11, Glenda, a native New Yorker, used her creative gifts to create a
memorial honoring the lives lost on that infamous day.  Her piece entitled "In Memory of 9/11", has touched the
hearts of thousands.
Glenda gives honor to God for her talents.  She is also thankful for the support she receives from the many people
who appreciate her art.
