La Familia Green

La Familia Green, conceived in Spring 2005 by painter/printmaker/paperlover Mollie Green, represents an eclectic assortment of interests and ideas. The aesthetic is Mexican folk art meets Scandinavian design meets wildlife preserve … West Texas meets the Midwest. The ever-evolving collection is inspired by our growing list of obsessions—high-top sneakers, the style of Alexander Girard, fluorescent pink, floaty pens, thrift-store owl collections, 1970s tennis manuals, dioramas, the sky in New Mexico, Scandinavian textiles… All cards begin as an original handcut collage, drawing, or print in Mollie's studio in the Rogers Park neighborhood on the northside of Chicago. Then the cards are printed at a wind powered print shop in Rochester, New York. Each card is packaged with a white, kraft, or red envelope.
