Gaylord Ho

Master sculptor Gaylord Ho has been interpreting Pipka’s art since her first collection in 1995.

Gaylord, an artist in his own right, has his own fine art sculptures in galleries around the world, and one of Gaylord’s pieces is on display in the Vatican Museum. Pictured here, Gaylord presents “A Family’s Guardian Angel” (shown behind Gaylord) to Pope Benedict XVI’s on his 80th birthday in 2007.

Gaylord has a large staff of artists, each chosen from the best schools and trained personally by Gaylord. Once a figurine is out of the mold and sanded, the artists begin their work. New artists may start out painting just backgrounds, then as they learn more, they progress to painting the finer details.

Here, one of Gaylord’s artists paints details on a figurine. Only the very best artists are allowed to work on faces…the detail is so fine, the brush used has just one bristle!

Because each figurine is hand painted, no two are exactly alike, making your Pipka Collectible truly one-of-a-kind.
