Some might consider it a stretch to call holiday cards art worthy of exhibiton, but this is a body of work I am very proud of. These prints are not just holiday messages, but represent how art is truely intended to act upon people.  I have been able to stay in touch with my family and friends through the yearly exercise of making and sending these cards.  This has become an important means of invovling people with my art that I would have difficulty including any other way.
    Before the birth of my daughter, working on my card was the only thing that I looked forward to around Christmas time. But even more than that this series was the beginning of my exploration of using poetry in my art.  Much of my work now is in reference to the message and presentation of a holiday card.
