Artista ™

Artista™ Dolls are brought to life by the industry's most gifted designers and sculptors.  Each play and display Artista doll is based on an original artist sculpt and created using Charisma's owned Caressalyn ™ vinyl.   Caressalyn emulates fine bisque porcelain with a petal smooth finish, but with proper care, resists the fragility of porcelain for a lifetime of enjoyment.   Each doll has vinyl face, hands and feet with partial vinyl in the arms and legs.  Dolls have a cloth stuffed body.

Suggested Retail ranges from $49.95 - $159.95 with edition sizes as low as 250.

Please scroll down below for pictures, description and ordering.  Dolls are listed in alphabetical order.

Meet the Artista Artists

Donna RuBert - Jane Pinkstaff - Rachel Scott - Kymberli Durden - Sandra Bilotto

Donna RuBert

Rachel Scott

Artist Rachel Scott, the daughter of renowned doll artist, Karen Scott was constanly surrounded by creativity while growing up.   She remembers going to many doll shows with her mother and grandmother.  She loved seeing all of the dolls and spending time with her family at the same time. 

At 19, Rachel tried her hand at sculpting a head, not knowing the "creativity" inside of her would soon take over.  Her Mom taught her a lot, and she is grateful for that.  Who would have thought that all of her "mess making" as a child was actually preparing her for her future!

Kymberli Durden

Artist Kymberli Durden is a daughter, granddaughter, wife and mother!  As a granddaughter, she was taught to appreciate and to develop art.  As a wife and mother, she has been provided a close-up view of the myriad of emotions that children's faces reveal.  She has been introduced to some form of art since her beloved grandmother taught her to crochet at the tender age of five.

"My God given love and desire to create has bloomed continually from this point.  As an artist, I am fascinated by the art form of doll making and the many great artists that have come before me," Kymberli says.  "It is these two things that drive me, and that peaks my passion and love.  A passion and love so strong that I find myself working from dusk til dawn researching and applying the techniques of this great art form."

Sandra Bilotto

Artist Sandra Bilotto is a gifted award-winning American doll artist and knows what makes collectors feel good.  From the time she was a little girl, she was always using her hands to build or create things.  She loved sewing doll dresses, making puppets and building doll theatres.

As she grew, she studied the violin, but a greater dream was to become a violin maker.  She studied art in high school and apprenticed to a violin maker before going on to college where she studied three dimensional designs.  She worked for several toy companies and went back to NYU for post graduate medical school to become a prosthetist-orthodist.  Her reputation for quality is unsurpassed and she sculpts with elegance, great sensitivity and perfection.

Sandra was chosen by Marie Osmond to sculpt the 2009 Marie Osmond Fashion Doll.  You can order Sandra's Marie Osmond fashion doll at the following links: Marie Grand Finale Fashion or Marie Rock This Town.
