someone asked today how i came to the idea for my shop. i think it’s a culmination of life and a love for art and a desire to make the world a better place.
vision – when i went through a divorce, i had a really tough time going to the mailbox because i was a) depressed, b) raising four kids on my own, and c) worried about what bills i might owe that would come in the mail. a trip to the mailbox would cause me a ton of anxiety. so i started to send my kids and even myself postcards so i would have something to look forward to in the mailbox. my kids began to live in a different state in the summers which also was a catalyst to create fun cards to send them. the idea grew and here we are.
art & design – i draw the animals and add different elements to the cards to create fun and unique designs. the point of “the unicorn city” idea is to create a place where everyone is welcome with their unique selves. i also really enjoy kawaii, studio ghibli, and other such cuteness in art. i enjoy adding the occasional oddity to keep it fun and support the thought that weirdness is cool.
poetry & writing – rhyming poetry has been my thing since i was young. i love dr. suess and other such fun writings. i have written all sorts of poetry through the years – it is fun to have landed on this current project.
creating mental health awareness is a goal of mine – especially amongst teenagers. i have four teenage children of my own – i understand the challenges our youth are facing.
diversity & inclusion – i want to create a safe space for all races and my lgbtq+ family. every person deserves to feel seen for the person they are. i will always hold space for all genders and any race.
thanks so much for taking time to stop by my site today! it would be an honor to include you on my next batch of postcards.
best,
the unicorn city
