Greeting Cards & Prints

Background & Inspiration

I rarely leave home without a sketchbook . I draw whatever strikes me and later some of those tiny sketches grow into bold, colorful paintings. During the pandemic, I began a series called “Paint Your Happy Place,” creating both acrylic and digital pieces. I started printing them and selling them in coffee shops, and eventually turned them into cards.

Concept Development

I wanted the cards to feel like small pieces of art, not traditional stationery. They’re top-folded and designed to stand upright, like a painting on an easel, which also allows them to face the viewer better when placed on a desk. I chose a 4x6" format reminiscent of the film photos I loved. I also sourced plant-based sleeves to minimize environmental impact. The backs feature curated quotes that add meaning or contrast.

Now

Today, I sell mostly wholesale. Twenty-four stores have carried and reordered my cards, and I occasionally attend fairs to meet buyers directly. It’s not a particularly profitable venture, but it brings me real joy knowing these little artworks put a smile on people’s faces. I can officially say that my art made it to several museums… the gift shops, that is.
