Design Spotlight: Marilee Harrald-Pilz

April 4, 2012

Today we’re putting the Design Spotlight on Marilee’s Card Shoppe – she has a very pretty style that makes me smile!

_________________________

This is one of my popular cards on Greeting Card Universe.  It’s painted it traditionally in watercolor and hand-lettered.  I liked the idea of hearts as flowers – a bouquet of love.

I work traditionally in watercolor and ink, and have had a varied career as a concept artist, illustrator of children’s books and magazines, greeting cards, and licensed characters.

I have two grown children, and live with my husband and dog Eddie in a suburb of Chicago.  I enjoy reading, antiques, the outdoors, drawing and painting with pastels.

Learn more about Marilee through her website, Marilee Sketches blog, and Marilee Designs blog.

    Happy to meet you Marilee. This is a charming style and what I would call “huggable” art!
