Welcome to my home page. I’m excited that you’ve come to look at my work. I originally created these beautiful hand-crafted Santas while living with my husband in the country of Iceland. There, making each Santa was a labor of love and helped pass the long winter arctic nights. My local Icelandic friends loved my early designs and encouraged me to create different styles. I have since returned to America, but I have continued to create these collector quality figures of Santa Claus. These original design, signed, numbered and dated Santas are made of hand painted fabric. Why painted fabric, you ask? Well, because in Iceland, fabric was imported and very expensive, and I could not find the colors that I wanted. So, out of necessity, I used paint to create just the right colors and texture. I individually sculpt each face and make the beards using my own unique process. Each Santa stands approximately 23 inches tall on a stained and varnished wooden base (made by my husband, Andy).

I make several types of Santa’s. Their design and color combinations coincide with their names; the Woodland Santa is hunter green with copper highlights, Father Christmas is burgundy with gold, Southwestern Father Christmas is an adobe color, Nordic Sinterclaus is blue with silver, the Victorian Santa, is a dusty rose with gold, and my newest design, a rustic looking Harvest Santa, is offered in either red or green.

I know it’s not Christmas, but these Santas will look beautiful in your home all year round. They are truly collector’s items. The price of $195.00 includes shipping anywhere in the United States: a little more for more distant places. Click here for ordering information.
