Master Sculptor Gaylord Ho has been an integral member of the Seraphim Classics creative team since the Collection’s debut in 1994. In addition to possessing an extraordinary artistic gift, Ho shares with Roman the unwavering commitment to the creation of angels whose ethereal beauty touches the furthest reaches of the imagination. He instills a sense of motion into every angel, creating a vivid impression of   heavenly breezes that gently sweep the angel’s luxurious hair and robes.

Gaylord Ho was born April 11, 1950 in Hsin-Wu, Taiwan. After completing his basic education, Ho attended the National Taiwan Academy of Arts where he ranked first in his class, won numerous awards and received national attention for his work. Upon graduation in 1972, Ho began fulfilling his military duties to Taiwan, but his university work continued to earn acclaim. During this period, one of his sculptures won the National Sculpture Exhibition and received international praise.

After military service, Ho studied under master sculptors in Japan where he further developed his sculpting skills and knowledge of production techniques. After that, he established Nomiso Porcelain Design Center, which became Gaylord Design Corporation in 1986. Gaylord Design is responsible for award-winning collectible creations from the top names in the industry. Ho wholeheartedly embraces his work and does the finish sculpting on every item that is handled by his studio.

After sculpting, Ho’s second professional passion is teaching. He enjoys teaching at both Taiwan University and Shanghai University, and has recruited many of the artists employed by Gaylord Design from the ranks of his students. The Master Sculptor feels that his talented team of well-trained professionals is more precious than any of the many awards and honors he has received for his own accomplishments.
