A ROBERT HURLBURT COLLABORATION
WITH EMMA LETURGEZ-SMITH

For Keepsake Artist Robert Hurlburt, Hallmark began as a family affair-his brother helped bring him into the company. “He and I knew that we wanted to do something creative rather than what our family traditionally did, which was working in an industrial trade,” he says. What Robert brought with him from that background is the technical eye he uses to scrutinize each of his creations.

HALLMARK KEEPSAKE ARTIST

Hallmark Keepsake Artist Emma Leturgez-Smith learned to love art as a child when her grandmother, a stellar painter, gave her art supplies as a gift. Emma left her hometown at 18 to go to art school, where she discovered a love of sculpting-leading her to Hallmark and the Keepsake Studio. Now an official studio member, she can’t wait to share her fun and festive style with ornament enthusiasts everywhere.
