Zodiac greeting card “Gemini”

The sign of Gemini (May 21st – June 21st), depicted by the twins, is an air sign which is ruled by the planet mercury. Actively curious, adaptable and energetic, Gemini’s can be very talkative and are natural communicators. Coupled with an inquisitive mind, they can chat about almost anything for long periods of time and are happy arguing their point of view. Most of the time they’re lively, happy and entertaining and make good partners…. as long as they don’t get bored!

Prose on the inside left of card reads (by Josephine Wall):

Gemini
May 22 – June 21
So curious and lively
is this friendly active sign,
it takes Twins to express
all the questions on their minds.
Quick-witted and restless,
they move from place to place
in search of adventure
or an interesting new face.
Overflowing with ideas
and rich imagination,
surely Geminis perfected
the art of communication.

Prose on the inside right of card reads (by Josephine Wall):

“You are a very special part
of my universe.”

Josephine Wall was born in Farnham, Surrey, England. Her work now is receiving worldwide acclaim inlcuding a nomination at the Arty Awards (the artworld equvalent of the oscars). She works mostly with acrylic paint and has been infuenced by the romanticism of the Pre-Raphaelites, surrealist artists like Salvador Dali and the illustrative work of Arthur Rackham.

From childhood she has had a passion for light and colour, fantasy and visual story telling. Much of the inspiration for her mystical images comes from her close observation of nature and her interest in its preservation. Though she often strives to impart a message in her scenes, she also hopes to inspire in her audience a personal journey into the magical world of their own imagination.

“The art of painting is more than a career to me,” she says, “it is an all consuming obsession and a love of colour and form. In fact, if I am away from my easel for too long I become restless and anxious to paint again.”
