About the Artist: Jackie Chimpky

 

I have been in the business of making handcrafted reproduction dolls for the past 38 years. I teach classes and seminars which specialize in antique reproduction dolls.

My dolls are created with special care, pride, and only the top quality products. I do not mass-produce so every doll is made unique.

 

I have won many blue ribbons, rosettes, and trophies in doll competitions. 

In 2002, I earned the Professional Millie Award, in 2003 I earned the Professional Maggie award .

I am a Doll Artisan Guild Instructor and Doll Competition Judge.

I also am a Certified Jean Nordquist Instructor for Collectible Doll Company. 

 I have also written many articles for several national doll magazines including 

Doll Crafter, Doll Artisan, Doll Costuming and Dolls Beautiful.

 

I am a DAG Instructor offering DAG Seminars for points from the Doll Artisan Guild.

In 1994 I became a certified instructor for Jean Nordquist of the Collectible Doll Company. 

I teach various painting and costuming seminars. 

 

Along with running my doll business, I am a wife and a mother of three grown children, a beautiful daughter in law and wonderful son in law.

I have 3 grandsons, and 3 granddaughters.

 

All of my dolls come with a "Certificate of Authenticity", 

verifying that it is a reproduction doll made by Jackie Chimpky.
