Greeting cards!

New! Printed greeting cards of my paintings!

The 25 assorted greeting cards of details of my paintings + 25 envelopes are $75.00 (plus US shipping only). Individual greeting cards + envelopes are also available for $4/each.

The cards measure 4.13" x 5.82" folded and are made of 16pt paper stock. There is a light satin coating on the outside, and the inside is uncoated so you can write your own message.

Printed cards make my work more accessible. For more information, or to order, please click here.

These printed cards are not to be confused with my book about making your own cards, Uncommon Cards.

Uncommon Cards is for anyone who would like inspiration and/or instructions for making their own cards.

New Book: Uncommon Cards

My new book, Uncommon Cards, is officially released by Running Press tomorrow, June 25, 2013. It's already available online. Tomorrow it will be available in many bookstores, and also available tomorrow is the Kindle edition. 

Uncommon Cards is a how-to book about greeting cards. It includes detailed instructions for you to create 52 cards, with eight sheets of card stock to get the reader started. The cards may be completed with a needle and thread, by hand or machine, transforming a blank page into a whimsical, inspired, one-of-a-kind greeting card. There are also instructions about how to make the cards if you don't sew.

Please visit the website I created for Uncommon Cards, take a peek inside, get ordering information, and learn more, and visit the Uncommon Cards facebook page too.

Busy Week Ahead

On Wednesday April 10, from 10:30am - noon, I'll be giving a demo at the Concord Art Association, in Concord, MA, called "Uncommon Cards: Creating large work to make small cards." At the demo I'll be showing and discussing my artwork, I'll demo how I work on a piece of art, talk about my upcoming book Uncommon Cards, and I'll show the actual cards that will be in my book. I will also be answering audience questions. Unfortunately there has been a delay in the publication date of my book, so I will not have the book there to share.

On Thursday, April 11, at 7:00pm, I'll be on a participating in "The Experience of a Coaching Group for Artists," a panel discussion with artists who are in the exhibit, A Room of Our Own, at Concord Art Association, who are also a part of a ten person, self-coaching artist group. We'll discuss how often we meet, what professional development topics are discussed and what a typical meeting entails. Group members will share how their careers have developed as a direct result of the work done in the group and from networking with each other. There will also be time for questions.

Participating artists in the panel, and art exhibit, are: Adria Arch, Brenda Cirioni, Jodi Colella, Catherine Evans, Ilana Manolson, Margot Stage, Kathleen Volp, Martha Wakefield, me (Jeanne Williamson), and Merill Comeau, who will also be the moderator.

A Room of Our Own is on exhibit through May 5, 2013. My work in the show is my semi-autobiographical series, (Fence) Shirts And (Hot) Flashes #1-6, and a temporary art installation is outside.
