Another Keepsake Studio Artist Retires
Rumors have it that Master Sculptor and Keepsake Studio artist Sue Tague has retired. Although Hallmark hasn’t released an official announcement regarding Sue’s retirement, both her profile and list of Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments have been removed from the studio artists section of the Hallmark kocmembers.com website.
Sue worked for Hallmark for 46 years, both full time and as a contract artist. Initially, she planned on staying at Hallmark for only a few years and then going on to London to study printmaking. But love for her work (as well for her husband and family) kept her in Kansas City.
