The Wedding Bower by Carolyn Schmitz
Card size: 5" x7" Blank Inside Printed in the USA
Story on Back: One thing more beautiful than a Gila Lizard is a Gila Lizard on her wedding day! (A creature this lovely should never be called a “monster”!) A Gila woodpecker, he first spotted her from his saguaro penthouse. She was sunbathing on a rock below, her body shimmering with beads of coral and indigo. Enchanted, he knew instantly that they would be together forever.
Artist: Carolyn Schmitz - Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Carolyn moved with her family to the mountains outside of Prescott, Arizona in 1952. Drawing, painting, and sculpting from an early age, she initially completed foundation courses at Kansas City Art Institute before receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts in graphic design at Arizona State University.
Carolyn’s small, whimsical portraits of the wildlife of the American West focus on intricate botanical detail. Her line of greeting cards, Desert Dada, has brought the subtle beauties of this arid land to people around the world, inspiring them to open their eyes to yet more treasures that await discovery in their own local habitats.
