Spruced-Up Pets

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.

Nina Aubé is the closest you’ll find to a cuteness mathematician! She’s always trying to formulate what will get her the maximum “awwww” factor. “As I’m sculpting, I’ll act out characters’ expressions and movements so I can get it just right. My focus is always on adding the perfect amount of emotion that will make people smile.”
