Gigi Mari Stationery pronounced Gee gee - (Marie, ma-ree)
Hello, Thank you for visiting my store.
Gigi Mari is a one girl stationary and fine art store located in Northern Chicago. I received my undergraduate in Fine Art and then moved on to a degree in Graphic Design. Art has always been my passion and I love to come up with new and exciting designs.
Most of my ideas are inspired by designs in nature. Nature does have the most perfect color palette. For my children's designs, I think about the play time I had with my daughter at different ages. What did she enjoy? Where did her imagination take her? She created her first masterpiece at 18 months with finger paints. Children are never too young to start creating. From that point on we have played with clay, created fairies, beaded jewelry,curled paper, tissue pom poms, painted on glassware, sewed dresses for dolls, made candy shops and played grocery store. The possibilities were limitless. But the best memories are coloring. Simply coloring together. My daughter is now 20 and we still color together. Mandalas, beautiful scenery, animals and plants. I am delighted that adult coloring has become a trend. When we visit my 91 year old mother (also an artist) we all sit together and color for hours, drinking coffee and talking.
I have taught art to children of all ages, to seniors and special needs individuals. I think the ability to free your mind and create without any expectations is one of the best therapies anyone can do.
I love to paint, and watercolor is my favorite medium to work in. You will see my paintings on different paper products in my store. Some are just left as they were created, and others I have manipulated with my graphic design skills in various ways to bring fresh new designs to you.
Recently, i have included graphics from other artists and my lovely daughter has joined in and is creating some fun and exciting designs as well.
All of the designing, printing, cutting, scoring and packaging is done in my home office. I strive to give you a personal one on one experience. All orders are professionally packaged in clear cello sleeves and or boxes tied with a bow wrapped in tissue. It is my gift to you. I want you to be excited when your package arrives! I can custom design anything to fit your occasion...just ask.
There are so many creative artists and I appreciate that you have visited my store and I hope you consider Gigi Marie Stationery for your next special event.
