about artist's background
Sleepless
Dream recycled paper greeting cards are ONLY printed on 100% post
consumer waste paper.*
I
began making greeting cards when Sleepless in Spain. When I returned
to CT I decided to try printing my collage images on card stock
and selling them to local stores, friends and family. It has been
since the very beginning that I have used 100% recycled paper
and I always will. My mission as a greeting card artist is to
create images that represent some of my favorite quotes and those
of others, and to create art that others can easily share, I also
try to represent the wishes of Nature and her Spirits, they'd
like to be recognized, protected, honored, and cherished...
My
artwork is a reflection of my own personal journey and visit here
on Earth, said to be one of the most difficult lives one can
experience. I am made sad by our civilization that as a whole
is getting further and further away from our Mother Earth. I believe
we all can make a difference, I know we can. I try to find ways
to honor our earth, my choice to only used 100% post-consumer
waste recycled paper is one small way I am trying to help. I haven't
found a printer that can make affordable print runs for my cards,
so I am still printing each one on my personal printer so that
I don't have to compromise my 100% recycled paper content. My
dream is that one day I will be able to find a way to mass produce
my images without sacrificing their intent.
