Margi Wray, Master Sculptor

Margi earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture from the University of Illinois and has had an exciting career: from working as a goldsmith and wax carver for the jewelry industry to sculpting for the most recognized collectible and toy industry manufacturers. Margi’s clients are widely recognizable names like, Mattel, American Greetings, Hallmark, Ashton-Drake, Lenox Collections, Enesco, Walt Disney Consumer Products, MGA Entertainment, Spin Master, Jada Toys and Jakks Pacific.

She takes pride in a craftsman approach to her work, focusing on detail, doing her own molding and casting of resins. She is hands-on from beginning to end.

Margi has discovered her niche in sculpting celebrity likenesses working with American Greetings and Ashton-Drake. For over 18 years she has sculpted the licensed images of Marilyn Monroe, Lucille Ball, Elvis, Barack and Michelle Obama, Princess Di, Lavern and Shirley, Natalie Wood, Bing Crosby and many more. Her ability to capture the physical features and the spirit of the personality is uncommon. Margi admits that this is her true passion, “Once I have achieved the profile of a person the rest just seems to fall into place. It’s rewarding to look at a sculpt and realize the individual is looking back at me. Wow, what a thrill.”
