Ruth J. Morehead designed gift products for a major greeting
card company before starting her own business over thirty
years ago. Her first works sold throughout Europe,
transcending all ages and cultures. She quickly met with
success at home in America as established companies like
Dimensions, Random House, and Current discovered that people
cannot resist the adorable appeal her designs have.
In 1980, Ruth's son Bill joined her in mastering the fine art
style that is unique to Morehead designs to add to the
precious collection of Morehead images. Their Warm &
Whimsical® line of character designs have since found
phenomenal universal appeal. Today, their adarable
artwork is marketed worldwide, having sold over 250 million
dollars of merchandise.
The Moreheads capture the sweet innocence of children, the
playfulness of young animals, and the pure beauty of angels
through their remarkably delicate, yet powerful paintings.
The Morehead allure will only grow with time, as the magnitude
of Ruth and Bill's artistic abilities continues to be
increasingly appreciated.
To date, the Moreheads have amassed a library of more than
3,000 original pieces of artwork available for license.
Their special gift of creating characters that seemingly ask
to be picked up, hugged, and cherished, evokes happey emotions
among all who stop to look at them. As Ruth said, "I
just everyone around the world to enjoy a touch of warmth and
love. It means so much to me to know our art reaches kindred
spirits here in America and among people from different
cultures in far away lands."
