Photo quality art meant to frame

I want these small pieces of art to immediately catch the receiver’s attention. Once they do, they’ll open the card and read your personal, handwritten message inside. That moment, fleeting but meaningful, is what I want to preserve.

I have always loved saving cards, but too often the designs aren’t something you’d want to keep. My goal is create cards, that hold moments, that are beautiful enough to display long after the moment has passed.

Framed on the wall or placed on a console, these pieces become quiet reminders of a special time, a feeling, or a connection. Something to revisit again and again.

It is very important to me that these cards don’t end up in a drawer or a landfill somewhere, but that their intended purpose is to be kept and cherished for a lifetime.

Is it just a greeting card, or is it art?

My cards are printed on photo quality paper with a print quality nice enough to frame. Giving a greeting a card is an opportunity to create a lasting memory, so why not make it beautiful.

The middle painting shows a night scene with stars, a crescent moon, a dragonfly, and purple flowers. The bottom painting illustrates butterflies flying over pink and purple flowers in a bright, airy setting.

The idea for Canary East was born from a desire to blend creativity with the guiding principles of direction, individuality, and inspiration.

The Canary represents creativity, vibrancy, and voice. Historically, canaries were known for their ability to navigate the darkest places, their song a symbol of hope and guidance.

East, on the other hand, symbolizes renewal and new beginnings. The rising sun in the east is a universal metaphor for fresh inspiration, forward-thinking, and a journey toward brighter horizons.

    ARTIST / FOUNDER

    My artistic journey began on the stage in the world of dance. I performed with The Rochester City Ballet, and subsequently went on to teach and choreograph throughout the Rochester area.

    Today, I channel my creative energy into the illustrations you see here. I draw everything completely by hand without the use of artificial intelligence. I love to illustrate whimsical, fun pieces designed to make you smile while leaving a lasting impression.

    I hope you enjoy these little works of art. Each is filled with heartfelt sentiment & just the right amount of sass.
