Biography:
Catherine E. Hajek-Harris (better known as Kiki to her friends and on her website) was born and raised in Puerto Rico. With less than a year left to go on her Fine Arts degree from the University of Puerto Rico in Mayaguez, she transferred to the Minneapolis College of Art and Design (MCAD) to study Illustration and then Comic Art. In 2011 Kiki graduated with her degree. It was while studying in Minneapolis that she had her first brush with Asian Ball-Jointed Dolls, and was able to purchase one with the intent of using it as a reference for her art. Instead, that first BJD became Omi.. soon after followed Seiki, then Erik and after him several others; the first three eventually became the main inspiration behind her online comic, Acrylic Eyes. Kiki currently lives in Puerto Rico and works from her home studio as both a freelance artist and doll customizer.
