Environmentally friendly cards and art for the spiritually aware.

Sleepless Dream is the art of E. Robin Ritz de Caliz, who resides in the historic town of Lebanon, CT.  She was born in upstate New York and spent most of her childhood in New England, wanting to escape, every winter, from the chilling winds and the seemingly endless months of putting up with the unwelcomed visits of Jack Frost.

In 1995, victoriously, she went to the Caribbean for the first time and ended up becoming enchanted by Puerto Rico (La Isla del Encanto) - go figure!  Swearing that she would return  after completing her studies, Ms. Ritz jumped back into classes and found herself shortly afterwards, studying in Spain.  It was in Spain that she started making reproductions of her handmade   Greeting cards to send to family and friends. She reminisces, "I remember signing the backs 'Sleepless Productions (peace&love,period)',  because such was the case."

In 1998, after graduating from Central Connecticut State University, with a B.A. in International Studies, Robin found herself packing for Puerto Rico yet again.  When she wasn't singing on stage or helping to line up gigs for the ROOTSTIKS (Reggae Band), more than likely she could be found on the beach, "working", collecting treaures, that would  later be transformed into some sort of whimsical creation (i.e. windchimes, mobiles, shell mosaics, necklaces, etc.)

Although Robin  finds herself (still) braving the frigidness of CT, all is well and good.  Her recycled art continues to take on new dimensions and higher forms and she continues to give thanks and praise! Thanks Jah.

Blessed be your journey. May you come with love and go in peace.
