   Kelly RuBert

     Donna has been an artist all her life.  She started as a child, sculpting or painting anything she could get her hands on.  She studied with a number of well known artists and taught art with the college system in California.  When she became acquainted with the doll world she decided this was for her.  Dolls included all the things she was familiar with and loved to do.  Sculpting, painting and design, all in one place sounded too good to be true, so she immediately went to work and became one of the best known doll artists in the world.  A Doty winner, Donna loves her work with dolls.

  Kelly thought she started out as an adult after spending several years in Europe and studying in some of the major cities, galleries, and museums there; however, her education really started at home even before she can remember.  Kelly spent her days making an all around mess but having lots of fun working with her mom while she sculpted and painted.  Now they are at it again, business this time, but still lots of fun! Kelly is a Doty winner which is one of the most coveted awards in the doll world.
