"Donald Zolan's happy and idyllic childhood in America's Heartland was his continual source of inspiration for his famous children and Santa Claus paintings. The love and joy one sees in his paintings are a sincere expression of himself as the warmth and richness of his work touches the heart and enlivens the soul. A fifth generation artist, Zolan [1937-2009] was a precocious talent who started drawing at the age of three completing his first oil painting by age eight... As Donald's reputation grew as a distinguished portrait artist, his precious paintings of children earned him global fame winning the Six Time Winner of America's Favorite Plate Artist and 12 time Award Winner of the Collector Editions Awards of Excellence.
