Meet the Creator: Lacye A. Brown
The Artistic Alchemist
Welcome to the creative universe of Dr. Apples, where each twist and turn in our stories is a direct reflection of the life and imagination of its creator, Lacye A. Brown. Born and raised in Atlanta, GA, Lacye's journey is a testament to the transformative power of art as both a sanctuary and a medium for profound expression.
Early Inspirations
Lacye's artistic journey began in the dynamic landscapes of Georgia, where she moved frequently and faced numerous challenges. Despite these upheavals, art remained a constant, providing both solace and a means to explore her inner world.
Her passion was nurtured during her school years, notably by a supportive teacher, Ms. Daniels, who recognized her potential and encouraged her to pursue her creative endeavors, including writing her first complete novel before the end of the school year.

Roots in Storytelling
Dr. Apples is deeply rooted in the vibrant tapestry of the Underground African American Diaspora, an integral part of my own Soulaan heritage. It is with immense pride and a profound sense of responsibility that I bring to life these stories—stories woven into the very fabric of my lineage and roots. Through Dr. Apples, I aim to celebrate and honor the rich narratives and enduring spirit of our ancestors, sharing with you a world that transcends time and space. Join us as we explore these tales of magic, resilience, and creativity, each one a cherished echo of our shared past, and an inspirational beacon for our collective future.

A Glimpse into the Creation Process
Every art doll in this collection is a labor of love and creativity. Lacye A. Brown blends materials and techniques to bring these characters to life, ensuring that each one is as unique as the story it tells.
The initial mixed media doll is created from thought. Lacye does not sketch or write down the idea of the doll—as she believes it interferes and limits the creativity of the final product. Once the physical mixed media doll is complete, various styles of the doll are illustrated to tell their story.
The creation process is a testament to the love, creativity, dedication, and artistic vision behind Dr. Apples.
