Meet Keepsake Artist…Sharon Visker.​ Growing up, Sharon’s mother was always immersing herself in an art project and her brother seemed to be able to draw just about anything. In an atmosphere where art seemed like a part of everyday life, it was only natural that Sharon would want to give it a try. And she quickly discovered she was unusually good at it! She spent her childhood creating bulletin board displays, designing yearbooks, and winning numerous art competitions.​

Her talent eventually brought her to Hallmark, where, after 15 years as an illustrator, she participated in a woodcarving workshop and discovered a knack she didn’t know she had…sculpting! A skill she’s been exercising ever since joining the Keepsake Studio in the year 2000. Sharon has some very exciting Keepsakes coming this year (including a tabletop piece)!
