Hallmark Star Trek Artist Retires

Longtime ornament artist, Anita Marra Rogers, retires from Hallmark after 36 years. Rogers’ Star Trek ornament career began with Captains Kirk and Picard in 1995 through the Star Trek Legends series that concluded in 2016.

Rogers primarily sculpted the character ornaments within the Trek line but she also made her mark with a couple scene ornaments including “The City on the Edge of Forever” in 2004. ”I just love that episode. It has everything that’s made Star Trek so popular for so long.”

We wish Anita well in her retirement and thank her for her years of creativity. Her ornaments will be on our trees for years to come. 🖖🏻
