Several years of sculpting and working as an engineer, Jim Shore made the decision to create his own design company. The company he created, Designs American, was created to market his art designs. Once his company was created it exploded into an overnight sensation and he knew it was time to find a business partner. This decision set the foundation for his many awards and inspirational designs.
Poised to explode onto the collectibles scene, the business partnership that Jim brokered with Enesco lit the fuse that propelled his Heartwood Creek collection to the top. Given his new artistic freedom Jim went to work designing and hasn't stopped since.
Jim's artistic styling incorporates many elements from folk art to traditional art. Since 2002 Jim Shore has received various awards from NALED. Three times he has been named Artist of the Year consecutively from 2003 to 2005. Jim has also won the 2002 Rising Star award, the 2003, as well as 2005 Christmas Collectible of the Year award, and in both 2004, as well as 2005 he won the Christmas Decor of the Year award.
One aspect of the Jim Shore Heartwood Creek Collection is the utilization of everyday elements from your daily lives to bring joy and happiness into your family for many years to come. The wide variety of pieces he designs ensures that at least one can be displayed all throughout the year.
The shaded lamp featuring a Jazz trumpet player and the Jazz saxophone player are perfect for the Jazz lover looking to add some spice to any room. Both elegant pieces are real show stoppers!
During the Holidays, Jim Shore has designed several collections. Some of the his most popular Christmas pieces are Disney inspired, especially his, "Mickey and Santa" piece where they are checking the Naughty/Nice list together. Such an amazing collectible!
Several other Jim Shore Heartwood Creek collections are inspired by some of Jim's childhood memories. The, "Wizard of Oz", collection is one of these collections. With Dorothy and the Tin Man along with the rest of the gang heading down that yellow brick road trying to get Dorothy home it is hard not to take a trip down memory lane.
The Jim Shore Heartwood Creek Collection can be a beautiful and conversational centerpiece within your home all year long, no matter what the occasion.
