CARDS BY BEX IS A SMALL STATIONERY COMPANY BASED IN HAMILTON, ONTARIO RUN BY BECCA COSGROVE. EVERY DESIGN BEGINS WITH HAND-LETTERING AND WATERCOLOUR PAINTINGS, WHICH ARE THEN DIGITIZED TO BECOME GREETING CARDS AND ART PRINTS. MY DESIGNS ARE FULL OF MOVEMENT, ENERGY, AND LIFE. YOU WILL RARELY SEE A BLACK AND WHITE DESIGN, AND I HAVE A TENDENCY TO GO AGAINST MY BETTER JUDGMENT THAT TELLS ME I MAY BE USING TOO MUCH COLOUR. I AM INSPIRED BY LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY, THE OUTDOORS, AND SEEMINGLY ORDINARY OBJECTS THAT BRING ME JOY (I HAVEFOUR CARDS WITH SOME KIND OF COFFEE ILLUSTRATION, AND THERE ARE LIKELY MORE TO COME). MOST OF ALL, I AM INSPIRED BY MY PAINT. THE WAY WATERCOLOURS BLEND THROUGH THE VARIOUS WATER TECHNIQUES INSPIRES ME MORE THAN ANYTHING I CAN NAME. PRODUCTS ARE PRINTED AT A LOCAL PRINT SHOP (#SUPPORTLOCAL) ON FSC CERTIFIED PAPERS WITH HIGH QUALITY INKS TO BEST HIGHLIGHT THE ORIGINAL PAINTINGS.

BECCA COSGROVE IS AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER, AND SELF-TAUGHT WATERCOLOR ARTIST AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER LIVING IN HAMILTON WITH HER HIGH SCHOOL SWEETHEART (PICTURED LEFT WITH HER MOST POPULAR PAINTING).

I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED TO DOODLE AND MY MOM ALWAYS HAD ME EXPERIMENTING WITH DIFFERENT CREATIVE MEDIUMS, BUT FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER, I HAD NEVER PICKED UP A PAINT BRUSH UNTIL AFTER I GRADUATED TEACHERS’ COLLEGE. I IMMEDIATELY FELL IN LOVE WITH WATERCOLOUR AND MY HISTORY OF FIDDLING WITH ADOBE PRODUCTS FOR FUN IN HIGH SCHOOL MADE IT EASY FOR ME TO QUICKLY LEARN HOW TO DESIGN.
