Thank you for visiting my art blog! I am an artist in southern California, and this blog is about my journey into art. My art is mixed media original art, and very often my vehicle for sharing is a greeting card. I paint and ink and stamp and rip and shred and glue and emboss, but no designer paper is harmed in the making of my collages. It all starts with blank paper.

Welcome Home

These housewarming cards are for my dear friend Marina who is a real estate agent in San Diego.  She plans to give them to her new home buyers when she presents them with their key.  What a special way to welcome your clients home.  She won Rookie Salesperson of the Year in 2012 for her sales volume, and it's this kind of extra bit of thoughtfulness that makes her stand out from the rest.

These cards were actually a second go-around from last year, and it certainly showed me how much my style has evolved.  And just as I was about to glue down the tag and the key in a random place, it occurred to me to tie the key to the tag.  Major aha moment.  Seems rather obvious now. :)
