Known from an early age as “that kid who could draw,” Tom Best seemed destined to become an artist. What started as doodles and sketches for his friends and classmates eventually led to more masterful works of art, always intended to make someone smile. Now a pillar of the Hallmark Keepsake Studio, Tom has happily evolved into “that guy who makes ornaments.” Tom Best Rodney Gentry appreciates the work that goes into a Keepsake Ornament well before any actual hands-on creation. “It’s a combination of engineering and artistry that starts with a lot of hard work up front. It’s not always an A to Z progression,” says Rodney. “You wear a lot of different hats-researcher, historian, engineer, craftsman-on the way to a completed piece that will be both true to life and emotionally satisfying.” Rodney Gentry
