  Greeting Cards

“I always created a personal card for birthdays and anniversaries of immediate family members. At age 13, after winning a statewide Harry Doehla greeting card design contest, I took my portfolio to Hallmark Cards to apply for a job.  I did not get past the reception desk. Then, while gathering images for the 2000 book Rita Blitt: The Passionate Gesture, I found this card made at age 10 which revealed to me that the yellow ball I had been including in my work all these years is probably the sun, which I do revere.” RB
