Renowned character artist Jacqueline Kent has been entertaining crowds in the American and Canadian gift and collectibles industry with her true to life creations since the early 1990's. The introduction of her whimsical Fairy Godmothers touched the hearts of everyone and they quickly became her number one seller. Jacqueline says her inspiration always comes from the people around her. "In particular, my Christmas Carolers were born by my memories as a young girl growing up in London, England and by my parent's stories. My family and I grew up in a rural area and the community was very close-knit. At Christmas time, it was not unusual for a church group or a handful of neighbors to gather for an hour or two of caroling on the street. The children were encouraged by the adults to participate and although my memories have faded somewhat, I can still remember standing outside with my family, singing "Away in a Manger". For me, it was a very magical time."
