Lee Middleswart Folk Santas

Lee creatively uses antique and vintage objects and old collectibles found throughout Iowa for designing her wonderfully unique Santa figures. The painting is done in layers and washes using techniques that complement these aged pieces. Lettering is frequently used on a portion of the Santas to express the message or name of the piece. Art is often carved, wood-burned, sanded and stained to give each piece a truly unique style. Each one-of-a-kind piece interprets historical events and imagination with humor and subtle emotion.
