This card features an image by Karen Abend of Sicily, Italy. Printed by Great Arrow Graphics in Buffalo, New York.
I’m an artist living on the island of Sicily for long enough now to call it home. I love to draw, paint, collage, design and illustrate. One of my greatest joys is immersing myself in the creative process and channeling that energy in service of a collaborative project.
Art and adventure have always been a part of my life. As a child growing up in Los Angeles, some of my happiest times were spent playing with my pastels and going on vacations with my family near and far.
When it was time to decide on a career, my desire to be immersed in museums, art and art history lead me to the field of art conservation. As an art conservator my adventure continued, and I worked in museums in New York City and on excavations in in Italy, Turkey and Greece.
Along the way I married an Italian archaeologist, had a son and got some furry (and not so furry) additions: two dogs, a cat and a frog.
During my time in Sicily, I’ve been able to rediscover my creative roots. I feel extremely fortunate that I now get to spend my days creating art for licensing, collaborative projects, and always, for my own well-being, learning and growth.

Experience Great Arrow silkscreened cards – the bold hues and velvety feel of ink printed by hand, layered one color at a time. In 1984, Alan Friedman and Donna Massimo began making silkscreened cards for holidays and every day in a small studio in Buffalo, New York. 35 years and 7000 cards later, the tradition continues with the help of a crew of talented local artists working with wonderful designers from around the world.
In a shop, a Great Arrow card is unmistakable… an oasis of brilliant, luscious color. The greetings are simple (sometimes punny) to inspire the sender to say what they feel. We purchase FSC certified papers, use recycled materials wherever possible and print with U.S. made inks. In the end, it's love that makes our cards something worth sending and keeping. A Great Arrow hand silkscreened card is a hug that fits in an envelope.
