Monika Gerdes was born in 1954 in Bremerhaven, Germany, and she has three children and four grandchildren. In 2002, Monika and her husband had to give up their own restaurant due to health reasons. Monika has always had a passion for dolls. Now that she had a private life again, she felt a desire to sculpt her own dolls. She looked in vain for a sculpting class and had to teach herself instead. After just under two years, she received her first offer from Home Shopping Europe. To Monika, encounters with her collectors is very important, because this lets her know her own stand, and she is eager to hear their suggestions. Each one of Monika's doll children was created in an atmosphere of love and enthusiasm.
