Cheri is a miniature bear artist who lives in central California with her husband John and their three kitties, "Oliver" and "Pele" and "Meow". She is a Registered Dietitian who works as a renal dietitian in Bakersfield. In addtion to her full time job, she has many other interests including piano, computers, gardening and sewing. From an early age, she has crafted unique, quality items such a soft sculpture ornaments and polymer clay figurines. Through the years her crafts have become smaller and more detailed, so it was natural that she was drawn to the world of miniature bears in early 1998. She has devoted hours to learning the art and working to perfect her own designs and style. Her bears have been featured in both American and Japanese Teddy Bear magazines.
