About the Art Studio

 My gift of life. It's gratitude for every happenstance of the past that brings me to a moment of justice. It's awareness - or is it realization of one's capabilities and limitations. It's concentration - or is it an easy sensing of the universe ? It's seeing a mystical power for good in each and every human being. -Robert R. Francis

Received the ornaments. They are absolutely adorable & unique... exactly what I was looking for. Will keep your website on my radar for future purchases. Thank you & Happy Holidays! R. Young


It was a wonderful experience dealing with Mr. Francis. He was so kind and took a lot of time to find the exact product for the recipient of my gift. He also did a great job in making the piece and I will be sure to come back to his website in the future. H.Beck

Furthermore, the company is second to none in personal attention, responsive communication, and on time delivery. Each of of requests have been addressed personally and updates have been sent to ensure I was aware of the status of my purchases, from an initial thank you for your order to your has been shipped. I would highly recommend Robert Francis Studios to all my friends and family. R. Barton

I was really pleased with the quality of their products. I purchased the ornaments and they are just beautiful, they will become heirlooms in our family. When I had a slight problem, they contacted me very quickly and went out of their way to help me. I would recommend them to everyone.

After receiving my order from you today, I just had to e-mail you to compliment you on your work. The Santa, snowmen and wizard ornament are fantastic!!! I will be giving them as Christmas gifts (if I can let them go!) and know the recipients will enjoy them as much as I do. Happy Holidays! Thank you so much, K. Wolfe
Just wanted to drop you a note to say that I received the carved wooden Santa Claus with Christmas Tree I had ordered, and I couldn't be more pleased. This is a gift for someone with an extensive collection of carved wooden Santas and who is very, very particular about what gets added to the collection. I know he is going to be very pleased with this one.
Thanks. R. Scott Brigham
I was given one of your Santa Claus carvings (Western with Candy Cane Guns) for Christmas and I just love him. What a great addition to my Santa collection which now numbers 220 hand carved and/or hand painted wooden Santas. I have been collecting since 1982 and always enjoy adding an innovative and well done Santa to the collection.

The Christmas Gift store worked with me to create a Belsnickle which was exactly what I wanted. On my original inquiry, I was not even sure they would make custom pieces. Fantastic listening, co-operation, and very prompt service!
