 Stacia McDonough of Neva Dolls, known for her exquisite Russia-inspired pieces, was recently chosen as the featured artist for the The Doll and Toy Museum of New York. “The Toy Museum is a wonderful institution. It is an honor that they chose me as their featured artist,” says McDonough of the award. “I was born in New York so that just makes it extra special!”The museum’s board of directors chooses artists based not only on artistic talent but also on the educational merit an artist’s work possesses. Skillfully rendered and steeped in Russian history, folklore and costume, McDonough’s work does just that. Museum director Marlene Hochman says, “One of the most important characteristics we look for is how the artist gives back to the community, and McDonough is very generous with her help to our museum and to other charities. … We want to see more doll artists follow her lead by doing more for others.”

Stacia's dolls are MAGNIFICENT, the costumes EXQUISITE! True Russian style - very unique. Without a doubt, her designs should be featured at New York City's Fashion week.

We have been working with Stacia for many years and have found her to be a great talent and a community minded individual. She works so hard to create fantastic dolls and still has time to think of others. Thank you Stacia for making many contributions to the growth of The Toy Museum of NY (formally known as The Doll and Toy Museum of NYC). We are delighted to know someone as gifted and talented as you.

I have been a doll collector for many, many years and have a variety of dolls in my ever-growing collection (including numerous Neva Dolls OF COURSE!), however, I must say that Stacia's dolls are by far the most beautiful dolls in the world! Her imagination and creativity are unsurpassed. I'm very happy she won this award.

It is refreshing to see that over the years Neva Dolls has stayed true to their pure Russian authenticity. While others tend to use Asia as a manufacturing base, NEVA continues year after year to provide the finest craftmanship, deliver consistancy of quality, and adhere to the highest standards.
