About Gleaux

Welcome to Gleaux (pronounced “glow”), a place where I play on paper and daydream and then play on paper some more. Mostly a fabulous card, invitation or announcement results, and sometimes, with luck, springs a precious morsel of ART! My designs are inspired by the colorful collage and juxtaposition of people, texture, flavor and history that is the San Francisco Bay Area, as well as by those little unexpected moments of raw beauty that reveal themselves from day to day in my own backyard.
