“Santa may be one of the most creative people in the world; after all, he designs and makes toys for children of every race, creed and nationality. Santa has also inspired artists, poets and authors throughout his long history. Being an artist, I find my Artist Santa very dear to my heart. I have been drawing since I was a young child. I would look through books and books that feature paintings by the masters. Then I would put pencil to paper and gradually develop my own style. Take some time and find the artist in you.” - Pipka
