Helen Endres Safe & Sound Framed Art

Framed artpiece of work by Helen Enders "Safe and Sound" a grandmother and her grandchild, 20.5”x30”, and pair of ca 1968 Maxine Runci sweet reproductions of children, 1 boy and 1 girl, both measure 9.5”x11”. Mounted on hard back with attached hangers. See photos for more details.

Maxine Runci was married in 1942 to famous artist Edward Runci. Together, they collaborated on at least 9 paintings. Portraits were her speciality.

Endres is the artist responsible for creating Chris Mouse, the Swiss Colony's ambassador of holiday cheer. Over her more than three decades in Monroe, Endres has created artwork that has graced holiday tins and catalogs for the company. Despite this legacy, an artist's life was never Endres' long-term plan. "I sort of backed into it," Endres said with a laugh.

After a brief stint at Hallmark in Kansas City, Endres returned to work for a small art agency in Chicago as an art assistant. At the time, Schreiner-Bennett had Swiss Colony as a client. Pat Kubly, son of company founder Ray Kubly, asked if the agency could create a new face for the company. More on Artist tells stories...
