"I have always loved costumes, miniatures and anything shiny. When I discovered realistic ball jointed dolls in 2014, I realized I’d found the perfect costume mannequins. As they are posable with perfect bodies and lovely faces, I indulged in making miniature outfits from history, media and my own fertile imagination.

"As I was considering a title for this show, I decided on Courts of Jewels for several reasons. Along with my love of glitz and glitter, I also love brilliant color, and jewels personify both. But jewels are not just shiny pretty stones, they are also people, people in all their diversities of personalities and nationalities, of their colors and clothing and lifestyles. Here then is a celebration of color and beauty, of sparkle and shine, and of people of the world and of fiction and fantasy." - Sally C. Fink
