MaryGold Tales Art

How every piece begins.

Everything starts from a hand-painted watercolor illustration by Mary.

MaryGold Tales Greeting Cards

The process.

Once the illustration is painted it is scanned and created into a beautiful greeting card. Printed in house on smooth, matte, ultra premium paper stock using professional printing practices.

MaryGold Tales Art Studio

Packed with love.

Every piece is prepared and packaged in the MaryGold Tales studio, by Mary. Her studio uses solar energy as it’s power source, nestled on her property.
