About iBreakToys

I’m Lisa Rae Hansen and I make character driven art. My formal training is in jewellery and silversmithing but my heart lies in the world of art toys.
I grew up in the 80’s playing with Star Wars and Masters of the Universe figures, and not a Barbie doll in sight! I spent the rest of my time drawing and making, whenever I wasn’t climbing trees or riding my bike.
Fascinated by movies like the Dark Crystal, Beetlejuice, Star Wars (of course), these childhood influences stuck fast and to this day still inform my desire to create other worldly characters. I might have grown up but I’ll never grow out of toys!
