Grounded in designs in the American Southwest to ancient Chinese characters and Tibetan prayer flags, Gloria Page explores the world of the symbolic and spiritual — from carved images for the old adobe Spanish Santuario Gift Shop in Chimayo, New Mexico to stamped fabric cards for the special Amish Quilt Exhibition at the Smithsonian.

"In the autumn of 1992, I had a kitchen table home business making miniature grapevine wreaths. One day, my husband brought home a rubber stamp for me to use in making price tags for the wreaths and so began a hobby. I bought a few Holiday stamps for making Christmas cards and then in the spring of 1993 my Mom visited from New Mexico. Before leaving, she ordered three Southwest art stamps as a gift for me – little did we know what would follow…

"With paper, scissors, glue, ribbon, a black ink pad, those three Southwest stamps and an idea – I made 18 bookmarks. I wrapped them individually in plastic sleeves that I cut by hand and sent them off to my mother. She showed them to her boss who was the owner of The La Fonda Newsstand who actually ordered them... and so began a business.

"Artwork that I have created in my home studio has been bought and sent all over the world. This is a deep source of satisfaction. It means a great deal to me to be part of someone's story – part of a giving and receiving, a special place in a person’s home. In this high-tech age of speed and instantaneous global communications, something that is handmade, a card that is handwritten, the time and thought involved – these things have extra special meaning. I can’t tell you how many times I have heard that my cards are "definite keepers" or something that "I just had to frame." Thank you for that.

I have always dreamed of having an art business and writing books. I have made an active choice to make those dreams come true, step-by-step, word-by-word, day-by-day.

Your interest in my work is appreciated."  — Gloria
