About Us
Russian Santa Purveyors
Russian Santa Purveyors is the website to visit if you are looking for the wonderful and unique hand carved, hand
painted Russian Santas! Here is a little information about my company.
I am currently a Special Education Department Chair with 33 years experience as a trusted, respected educator in the public
schools of Connecticut. I hold a doctoral degree and graduated from Columbia University and have also studied in Munich,
Germany and Siena, Italy. I've lived in Germany and have backpacked, hiked and climbed throughout Europe for over 36 years.
As a hobby, I had been interested in Russian Santas and was fascinated by the intricate hand carvings and unique paintings
by hand by the talented Russian artists.
Last year and this summer I traveled to Russia and made contacts with artisans there for the purpose of trying to establish a
very small online business. Please take a look at some of my offerings and enjoy the photos! I could also try to obtain a custom
order if a customer had something specific in mind. I work directly with a Russian carver and artist. Some items listed have
multiples quantities or can be ordered.
The goal of my small company is to try to find the perfect Santa carving for you and to offer outstanding customer service! My
hope is that this collection reflects the spirit of adventure that led to this endeavor. (Please click on the thumbnails to enlarge

Each Russian Santa, or Father Frost, is carved by hand from a single piece of linden wood that has been aged for a
certain number of years. The carvers provide the form for the painter to make the Santa come alive. The Russian painter
makes a very expressive face, usually with blue eyes, and a flowing beard that is quite long. With each stroke of the
brush, you can see the Santa come to life. I personally choose each Santa that is sold; I look for ones that are unique and
very beautifully crafted and painted.
