Windward Woodstock

Most ornaments are challenges, and I love a challenge,” says Keepsake Artist Jim Kemme. In his 54 years of creating at Hallmark, Jim has worked as a designer of everything from puzzles and posters to candles and ornaments. “As an artist, l’d call myself a realist. In my mind, I’m always just trying to get it right,” he says with a laugh.

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 lifelong 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.

Nifty Fifties Keepsake Ornaments

Anita Marra Rogers has been a lifelong painter, but she didn’t know she could sculpt until an impromptu visit to Hallmark. A friend who worked in the Keepsake Studio invited her to stop by for lunch one day, and while the other artists were out at lunch, Anita decided sculpting was worth a try. Soon enough, she’d developed a sculpting portfolio that blew both Hallmark and her friend away and has been sculpting happily ever since.
