And in her case, goodness is its own reward. Cheri is an internationally renowned artist, published in magazines such as "American Miniaturist," "Doll Reader" and "Doll Crafter & Costuming," just to name a few. Fortunately, if she ever doubts of her skill, Phil is always here to help her to move forwards.

Even though she is an author of best-selling sculpting books, Cheri never hesitates to learn from other artists. She is equally innovative at creating her own special tools to allow her to reach the most subtle aspects of the human form.

This very unique artist is very grateful to God to be healthy again. After a terrible year of illness, she smiles every morning when waking, knowing she will be capable of working in her studio all day or even all night long.
