ABOUT ME

 

Hello, I’m Monica Kohnke. For nearly 20 years, I’ve been immersed in the art of doll customization—a craft that goes far beyond repainting. I strive to create complete characters from head to toe, often designing and fabricating the smallest details myself. At times, I collaborate with other talented artists for specialized pieces, which I then refine and integrate into the final design.

My work allows me to merge two lifelong passions: doll collecting and science fiction. In my early years, I focused heavily on iconic TV and film properties such as Star Trek, Star Wars, and nostalgic classics like Lost in Space, The Munsters, and Batman (1966). Over time, my inspiration expanded into fantasy and the world of superheroes across comics, television, and cinema.

More recently, I’ve had the pleasure of recreating contemporary celebrities projects I truly enjoy—though I must admit that science fiction will always be my first love.
