About the Artist:

vivian hilliard

She can do anything... she just has to want to do it.  That's how people know Vivian Hilliard, the artist behind vhCrafts. 

About 15 years ago, Vivian Hilliard, a wife to a C.P.A. and mother to two children, decided that she was going to start painting crafts.  She'd been to craft shows and said numerous times, "I can do that!" 

So, with a band-saw and ply wood she began making pointed-hat Santa Claus decorations.  She created puffy beards using her own paint creation.  She would sell sets of 5 of these for customers to put on their fireplaces. 

Since beginning vhCrafts, the product line has grown and grown.  Mr. Hilliard keeps samples of all of Vivian's work.  He places it with care upon the mantle every Christmas for all to see.  It's made up of trinkets, dried plants, recyclables and anything Vivian could imagine a Santa being painted on. 

Vivian has now perfected her Santa!  All the way down to the gold-buckle!  Check out this website and get a full view of the vhCrafts creations!  Have fun!

It is often said that one should not stand still too long around Vivian, because she might just paint a Santa on you!

From gourds to goblins... vases to cases... boxes to bows... recycled goods and wooden crafts... Vivian paints it all!
