Josie was born in 1956, in a little village near Seoul, Korea. The area was still suffering from the effects of the Korean war. Only male children had toys. The lack of toys encouraged Josie's creative and artistic talent. Josie remembers playing with a pillow and pretending it was a doll. she also enjoyed drawing and painting when materials were available.

In 1994 when Josie came to America, she became interested in quilts, bears, and other forms of American crafts. She soon became an expert seamstress. Eventually she began dressing dolls as nuns. These dolls are historically correct in every way. she follows historical books that show hundreds of different religious orders, including Episcopal, Anglican, Orthodox, Lutheran, and Buddhist. Her dolls range in size from 6 inches to 32 inches. Josie also dresses some dolls as priests, ministers, monks, and rabbis.

Barbie and Ken dolls are used for most of the dolls, but others are used, depending upon size desired. Josie has a large selection of dolls on hand at all times. She also is willing to take special orders. She has traveled to many doll shows throughout the U.S displaying and selling her dolls.
