about me

---

Maria Chrystal Grimley

Art and artistic endeavours have always been central to my life, I love to express myself through my card production and painting.  I have been blessed to have travelled the world with my husband and son and lived in places like Tokyo, Hong Kong, Hamburg and now our home in Brighton, a city I love so much.  It’s here that I hand make all my cards personally in my studio, and it’s a real labour of love for me.

The inspiration to start making cards was when my son gave me one he bought from our local shop in Germany.  To this day, it sits on the desk in my studio as a reminder of the wonderful emotions a simple but beautiful card can bring.  I believe a card can convey so much by the written message within, but more often, by the care and thought of the selection and hope you find this in my work.
