Santa’s Ornament Treasures

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.

Tom Best

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.”
