Columbia Missouri-artist Kay Foley makes cards and collages using torn and cut bits of handmade paper from sources around the world. She sets the type for her original verse using a computer. Her cards are prints of the original artwork, produced on recycled stock.
Kay Foley’s cards are an outgrowth of her career as a counselor and her need to both engage in a less stressful occupation and to express herself through art. She hopes that her cards bring joy, hope and humor to those who give and receive them.
