The artist
and the maker<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

The artist Speed Gold usually chose living subjects: plants, animals, people. In paintings, drawings and even sculpture, she captured something of their inner spirit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Kathryn Bennett, Speed\u2019s daughter, designed and made stuffed toys and dolls\u2014first for her children and then to sell through select gift shops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Speed and Kathryn decided to collaborate. The result is Kozi Dolls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

All the people who make Kozi Dolls are in the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Just like the dolls, some have roots in other countries and cultures. You could say they\u2019re made by Americans from around the world.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
