Meet the Artists

The enchanting world of Tux the Penguin comes to life through the collaboration of two talented artists. Childrens illustrator Missy Healer Turner designs each window concept in detail, drawing from beloved childhood inspirations. Artist Jonnie Hartman then transforms these illustrations into whimsical large-scale installations. My goal is to share a bit of the whimsy that inspires me with the public, possibly putting a smile on their face, Jonnie explains. Together, theyve crafted 14 intricately designed displays that capture the joyful sounds of the season and invite guests to discover the magic hidden within each scene.
