Pepi was recently asked to create an ornament for the White House Christmas tree. He designed a dazzling, one-of-a-kind crystal and gold-leaf piece, and traveled to D.C. to see it sparkle! Pepi was one of a select few artists chosen from around the country, and was chosen by Senator John Sununu to represent the state of New Hampshire. Laura Bush welcomed the artists to the White House in a tree dedication ceremony.
