MICHELLE GROVE-REILAND, OWNER/CREATOR
"Since childhood, I have loved making cards and giving them voice through my sentiments. May this legacy live on through this card line called Satori Expressions. I believe that giving and receiving a card provides an intimate moment in time between two people on conscious and unconscious levels …connecting their sharing of spirit.
While searching for a name for my card line, I came across the word Satori and loved it. To my surprise, its meaning is derived from enlightenment or an “AHA moment".
And so, it is my intention that Satori Expressions live up to its name offering an expression within…that has been waiting for words."

GWEN FOX, ARTIST
Gwen Fox is known for her abstract expressions, one of many reasons I adore using her paintings for the Satori card line.
As a renowned international artist Gwen’s paintings are a reflection of life, immersed in unexpected layers of color and texture to reveal a remarkable vision that breathes new life into familiar images. One first notices the color…then witnesses the energy within. Visit Gwen’s website at www.gwenfox.com or email her at gwen@gwenfox.com
