Artist Insights: 2021 Series

Here are some Keepsake Artists’ insights into an ornament each has created for 2021.

Nina Aubé
Hallmark Keepsake Artist

Stocking Stuffers
1st in the series.

Nina Aubé: “I’m a huge animal lover, so all the critters in this stocking are pets I’ve personally known and loved, including my beloved cockatiel Opie, who lived to the ripe old age of 25.”

Each ornament in this new series will feature a festively stuffed stocking designed by a different Keepsake Studio Artist each year!

Rocking Horse Memories
2nd in the series.

Matt Johnson: “I want this series to have a beautiful range of rocking horses! For this I used a bolder color palette that gives the horse a really rich character. I explored many color variations before landing on this design that feels just right.”

Matt Johnson
Hallmark Keepsake Artist

Edythe Kegrize
Retired Hallmark Keepsake Artist

Fancy Flamingo

Edythe Kegrize: “Flamingos have always been a favorite of mine, with their awkward elegance, vibrant color and impressive size. My hope is ‘Fancy Flamingo’ will stir up plenty of warm sunbaked memories or dreams of topical adventure yet to come.”

Sweet Decade
2nd in the series.

Tammy Haddix: “Sweet Decade was inspired by my sweet tooth! I wanted it to look like you could actually eat it! As a kid my siblings and I would create gingerbread houses. I think more candy ended up in our bellies than on the house!”

Shoe-sational!

Debra Nielsen’s creative career began when a neighbor told her about an interesting freelance opportunity at Hallmark. The idea appealed to the working mom busy raising young kids, and the job became her first opportunity to turn art–which had been a lifetime hobby–into a profession. Ten years later, Debra joined the Keepsake Studio full time. Little did she know when she started as a freelancer that she would still be a Keepsake Artist thirty-three years later.
