Welcome to the Painted Santa.
My name is Lorrie Mandigo. I have always wanted to be environmentally conscious of all the surfaces I choose to paint on. I love painting Santas on renewable surfaces such as gourds and cypress knees. It also makes my heart happy to to creat Santas from found or recycled objects such as bottles, light bulbs, keys, silverware and driftwood. Knowing that these same objects would otherwise just end up in the landfill.

I would also like to make a guarantee that every item on this site is hand painted by me and is an original design that is unique and one of a kind. Thanks for visiting and come back soon as I continue to paint and create new and different Santas.
