The Poetry
While the music inspired the drawings, the words for the greetings were inspired by what I saw in each finished piece, which, in most cases, was very different from the stories told in the songs. In fact, all are excerpts from various poems I had written in the process (another trait my mother passed down to me and my sister). Together, the drawings and the poems, which are permanently connected, moved me to explore the possibility of creating a line of romantic greeting cards.
