Bob Cunningham lives in Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. He studied at The Ontario College of Art,where he majored in Interiors. Later in his career as a displayman, he was offered the position of Display Director for three of the T. Eaton department stores, and remained in this post for 20 years. Looking way back, when he was a young man his love was "The Art of Puppetry". Following in the footsteps of the great puppeteer, Frank Paris he would dress in black and dance on stage with his 3ft floor show marionettes. Years passed and his desire to create elaborately dressed costumed figures surfaced and developed into his compulsive passion as a doll sculptor and costume designer. Bob's figures are a magical experience for him. All of his sculptures are little people. When they give pleasure,he is pleased, when they come alive, he has reached his goal, and when they move on, he misses them. Now retired, Bob lives and breathes for his love of dolls.
