"In addition, these cards become items that people want to keep past the holidays and look at again from time to time."

"I am pleased that the cards with my designs are doing so well" commented Ms. Hirsch. In regards to her work she says, "Nature continues to provide a powerful catalyst in the evolution of my work. There is always that moment when light falls on a subject in just such a way that the ordinary becomes the extraordinary. Then the creative spark ignites the painting process." While her work is relatively new on the Cards Direct.com website, Ms. Hirsch's designs have already risen to one of the better sellers.
