Design Spotlight: Gail Pepin

Today’s Design Spotlight shines on Gail Pepin, an artist whose designs exemplify the term “marketable.” She works hard, we love her cards, and know you do too!

The card I chose is a birthday card featuring aliens.  Although I’ve only sold a few, I remember having so much fun designing this card, that it’s one of my favorites. I let my “inner child” take over in the design.

I’ve been an artist for many years and live in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I worked in marketing, taught for a while, and am currently freelancing. I use Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop for my cards.

I have a variety of art styles going on in my cards, because I’m always trying new things. I love to experiment. I started out in fine art and learned computer art while working. I also do pottery and am enjoying throwing teapots right now.

I’m happiest when I’m creating something and designing cards is like “play time” for me. My goal is to bring joy to people through my cards.
