Design Spotlight: Marilee Harrald-Pilz
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.

Very nice to meet you Marilee!
Happy to meet you Marilee. This is a charming style and what I would call “huggable” art!
Always great to meet a fellow artist and Chicagoan! I was born and raised in Chicago Suburbs as well. Beautiful Card!
