poster for Sam Montgomery “44 Daughters Collection”

This event has ended.

44 Daughters was conceived by Sam Montgomery. His Outsider artwork ranges from handmade dolls to pottery and three-dimensional art made from found objects. The 44 Daughters is a project that began when he was a student at a music academy when he made 44 dolls that lived in his dorm room. The dolls represent what it is to be special and unique.

They are all the same, but different, and should be celebrated for who they are and not be judged for how they are different. The Collection has now grown from 44 Daughters to include Sons, Cancer Survivors, Wounded Warriors, and Hearts.

Every doll is loveingly handmade by Sam. He draws the patterns for the Dolls, stitches them all by hand, stuffs them, and creates their faces with buttons from his grandmother’s buttom box and hair from yarn. Each Doll is tagged and numbered to show that it’s an original in the artist’s series. No two dolls are alike.

Sam Montgomery is a 26-year-old New York-based artist who is also a background actor. In 2012, he was invited to China as an Artist for World Peace and eight of his dolls – both Sons and Daughters – are on permanent display in Linzhou, Henan Province. Sam has shown his work at the Spattered Column Gallery in New York, the Ground Floor Gallery in Brooklyn and hosts doll-making workshops on Governor’s Island on Saturdays in August.

Sam hosts doll-making workshops at the Maker Faires in San Francisco, California and New York City, and the National Maker Faire in Washington, DC. He is also available for private make-your-own doll workshops.
