Almost every girl had a doll when they grew up. The most popular doll was the Barbie doll, of course. Childhood dolls became the inspiration for artist Katlyn Hubner’s series, “Plastic.” These beautiful paintings will definitely make you look at these childhood dolls differently, as Hubner makes them take a turn for more mature audiences.
Hubner is an award-winning artist based in Tacoma, Washington.
