Nature Gift Cards
Ever since I picked up a camera, one of my joys has been photographing nature. By turning my pictures into photo greeting cards, my hope is they inspire you to write to your friends and loved ones more often. Each boxed set comes with six, blank gift cards, featuring some of my favorite botanical images from the Gail Russell Photographic collection.
Growing up, I lived across the street from a nature preserve. I spent many hours learning from the plants and trees – just sitting and listening, opening myself up to receive what was being shared. During this time, I developed the belief that much like myself, Mother Nature is compelled to express herself through her creations of plants, animals, and the overall environment around us.
The photographs for this greeting card set are from one of my Gail Russell Photography exhibits called “Green Universe.” Many of them come from my garden right here in Northern New Mexico. Whether you use them as gift cards or to stay in touch with your friends and loved ones through a heartfelt, handwritten message, my hope is that they inspire you to create the same way nature does: continuously and without reserve.

Gail Russell’s Greeting Card Shop
Gail Russell is a photographic artist and designer living in Taos, New Mexico. She has a studio gallery where she exhibits and sells her photographic work along with her popular line of shawls, scarves and leg warmers. In 2008, she was named a Taos Living Master for her photography; in 2013 she was honored as one of the Remarkable Women of Taos.
Gail studied at Albright Knox School of Fine Art, Pratt Institute, and The School of Visual Arts. In 1968, she received her first camera and has never put it down.
In 1978 Gail moved to the Taos area and has exhibited her work widely and continuously since then. Her artistic foundation was informed, deepened, and sustained over decades by the relationships that she has maintained with Native elders and their extended families. In 1987, with Lakota Grandmother Nellie Red Owl, Gail founded the Adopt-a-Grandparent Program which for fifteen years brought support to elders and their families on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota.
Gail Russell’s art embodies a positive, uplifting spirit. The photographs reflect the beauty of nature, spiritual awareness, Native American life and culture, holy shrines and spiritual architecture, botanicals, the human form, landscapes and cloudscapes, love, and sometimes Maya, her macaw.
