Christine Pike, also known as 'Christine Pike Bears', from Norfolk, England.
Christine has been making these stunning creations for over ten years. Having an artistic background since childhood, and a passion for various art forms, Christine took to teddy bear art very quickly and began producing outstanding creations. Over the years, Christine has a unique gift for capturing the 'spirit' of her creations, especially the hand-sculpting on her realistic looking bears. Her work is that of a true artist - innovative and original. There is no doubting Christine's ability to produce award-winning bears, time and time again. We are especially pleased to be able to include Christine as one of our new UK artists at Silly Bears. A very talented lady!
