I love cards.
I love looking at them, picking out the perfect one to send someone. I have a stash of cards that I love so much I cannot bear to part with them. And I love getting a card in the mail. Who does not?

I was born and raised on the Eastern Shore of Maryland and had the great good fortune to grow up in a home which had the best of two worlds: the woods and the water. As a child, the natural world became a powerful source of inspiration, comfort, and awe. Without being conscious of it at the time, I inherently became a visually driven soul. By the time I got to college, art was what I wanted to pursue. While studying for my degree in art history, I was able to take what had been an early spark of attraction to photography and transform it into a passion. A lifelong introvert, I am able to turn my natural penchant for being an observer to good use; for me a picture tells my story without having to summon the words to do so.

My love affair with cards goes back to childhood. My Aunt Marnie had a shop in my small hometown which had a great variety of greeting cards. I spent many happy hours over the years at the Wayside Gift Shop. In my teens, I arranged and stocked the cards, helped Marnie with the buying, and assisted customers in choosing just the right one for their occasion.

I have been making cards for my friends and family for many years.
People kept saying: “You should sell your cards.”
And thus, GLITTERMOON CARDS was born.

My mission is to spread the love.
One card at a time.
A card in every mailbox. A smile on every face.
