KindnessAndBeauty

It's a garden gala on the hill where I live in the Maine woods. I settled here as a younger woman with no gardening skills - one garden became two, two became three, and more. This floral landscape provides the perfect palette for my self-developed photography.

Along with the gorgeous gardens that grace my home, I photograph the beauty of my surrounding landscape, and the nearby lake. Always a card sender, I began making my own cards to share the beauty of nature that is so inspiring to me.

During the pandemic when we were all experiencing overwhelming challenges, new fears, and exceptional stress, I began bringing cards with me when I went out to do errands. Wanting to uplift people’s spirits, I'd randomly invite someone to look at, choose, and take a card that appealed to them. People were surprised and moved - it meant a great deal to them, and to me.

As I explored creating an Etsy Shop, Kindness Cards, and Sharing Beauty Calendars, Prints, and Stickers emerged as my brand.

"It only takes one person to inspire a world of kindness." Fred Rogers

“Art washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.” Pablo Picasso
