This is not just a greeting card. It is an original piece of art ... created by the American artist Joan Huckabay. Since each card is handmade and signed by the artist, not two are exactly the same. Recipients often view the card as a special gift and as art suitable for framing.

The collage and cut-out cards evolved from hours of experimentation by the artist with various mediums. Her extensive use of packages reflected her initial fascination with an unusual gift from her husband. The artist enjoys listening to the different interpretations people attribute to her cards.

Joan Huckabay is a California artis, who earned a Bachelors Degree in Psychology from Fresno State University. Joan believes everyone has an artistic side, but not everyone is allowed to develop and expand their abilities.

From the collection of Constance Kay.
