About the Artist:

Michigan born, Sara Gwendolyn Frostic (1906-2001), was one of Americas foremost nature inspired artists. One of nine children, Gwen was stricken with polio at an early age. Gwen not only survived, she overcame the doctors prognosis that she would never walk, talk, or write again.

As a single woman in her fifties, Gwen moved to the northern woods of Michigan to observe, study, research, and sketch her native woods in all their wondrous detail. She then carefully carved the designs of nature into linoleum blocks. Gwen then used Heidleberg letter presses to bring her images alive on stationery.

Gwen not only became a very successful entrepreneur, but an accomplished artist, poet, educator, and philosopher. Known for her simple lines and delicate colors, this inspiring artist continued to produce new work well into her nineties. Now her serene, meditative renderings of trees, flowers, and wildlife have been captured in beautiful products.

Made in the USA.
