Announcement
Bykatedesigns is alive and well and operating as a home business in beautiful Manchester, Vermont!
I joined joined Etsy in 2009, and have recently decided to make it my passion! I have a degree in Art History, from Wheaton College in MA, and studied fine art at The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. I love to paint in oil and watercolor, especially landscapes, seascapes and gardens. Many of my greeting card designs are inspirations from my travels to Italy, France, North Africa, Bermuda and the good old USA, especially Cape Cod and Newport, Rhode Island.
My notecard designs come from my original oil paintings and watercolors. During the holidays I sell hand painted ornaments on wood tree slices, which were very popular online and in stores this past season!
Look for new designs in greeting cards, coastal cards. floral notecards and travel scenes, plus some old standby's. Coming soon, prints of all designs! Thanks for taking a look!

5 out of 5 starsI'm "old school" and still like to send via U.S. POSTAL SERVICE, note cards, and large enough to fit a printed out photo, I love the beach (I live blocks from the beach), so this is the perfect note card.

Owner
Painting landscapes and gardens has been my passion for years. After studying Art History and Fine Art in college, getting married and having a family, I started teaching art out of my studio, and selling my paintings, notecards and ornaments.
