Hand-crafted greeting cards by Susan Stragno
Nancy Christie is a writer of fiction and nonfiction, a journalist, an editor, and a presenter. My love affair with writing started in my childhood. Books carried me into worlds I never knew existed, and once I learned how to write, my imagination kept me there. With paper and pen, I could bring people to life who never before existed. With 26 letters, I could create a universe of my own. As an adult, writing is my way of making a connection with the rest of the world. Fiction, non-fiction, essays, and books—they are all the tools with which I shape the land and make my home.
Susan Stragno is a local physician and medical educator whose passions in the field are the patient-physician relationship and health humanities. She finds her meditative grounding in making art through designing and creating greeting cards that she hopes will bring as much joy to the person who purchases or receives the card as it brings to her making them! Susan is married to Paul, and they have two adult sons and one granddaughter. They enjoy preparing and eating good food, traveling, and classical music. She will make cards by “special order” that are personalized or designed for specific purposes. You can contact her by email to arrange this (suchefpwd@gmail.com).
