Pick a Card – Add a Poem tm. Our studio exists to inspire the minds and capture the hearts of our clients and customers with art and poetry to guide them through the journey of finding what is right for them.
Hand Words Publishing also published Percy’s first book of Art & Poetry, To Keep Us Human. His second book, Our Hearts Beat the Same, a poet’s view of diversity yet the sameness in us is planned to be available in later winter 2020.
Percy’s statement as a poet: “Celebrating life’s milestones, joys, love, and special moments are interpreted from my own life’s journey onto my Poem Cards. A sprinkling of laughter and fun finds its way there too.”
Our Poem Cards are offered with envelopes. We also offer Poem Cards with a tie for the convenience of attaching the Poem Cards to gifts, such as wine, gift baskets and flowers. We hope you enjoy your journey to finding the right Poem Card to say what you want. Should you have topics for which you would like us to write a poem or two, please let us know. Our new Fine Art Note and Greeting cards include the series The WaterBabies by artist Suzanne Elizabeth Murphy. Suzanne’s fine art can be viewed on her website SuzanneElizabethMurphy.com.
