Appreciation to
Carolee Nesbitt
of Las Cruces, New Mexico
Carolee is the premiere Artist of AZ Arts & Graphics. When founders of the unique Mesa, Arizona Studio conceived the "idea" of a Greeting Card and Related Stationery Products company in 1993, Carolee offered her inspired talents to assist The Jerrys in achieving their goals of offering Buyers, Resellers, Boutiques and Gift Shops a product with choices and features not available from other manufacturers of similar and like products. To this day, the Mesa Studio of AZ Arts & Graphics is blessed with an Inventory of many and varied pieces of artwork representing the creative strokes of Carolee's brushes, pens, acryllics and oils. We are indebted to you for your generosity of talent shared with our Studio. Thank You.

Her first attempt at water colors was in a class at Colorado Mountain College in Breckenridge, Colorado.  Painting with water colors with its clear sparkling qualities soon became her favorite way of expressing herself. Water sometimes has a will of its own and adds a surprise now and then to keep the process from becoming too controlled...a feature that also agrees with Carolee's personality.

AZ Arts & Graphics has given the artist a challenge in its wide range of subject matter much to her delight. She hopes her designs will put a little spark in your card giving.

Currently, Carolee, along with her husband Allan, reside in Las Cruces, New Mexico.

George Wise. . ."is a Northwest artist. Born in Ilwasco, Washington, he now resides in Pocatello, Idaho. After teaching in the public schools for ten years, George became a full-time independent artist in 1978.

George is noted for his watercolors as well as his oil paintings. He paints the subjects in the Northwest with which he is familiar. "I like most anything with character --that's why my subject matter is so varied." says George. Indeed, his paintings include western themes, wildlife, landscapes, seascapes and people. Capturing the character of his subjects is most important to George. This allows the viewer to "experience" the painting.

His work is available from your local dealer and has been published in print form. Each print is individually inspected and signed by George. For more information conatct your local dealer or:

Anne Marston. . ."Creating art is full of excitement for me; I celebrate what I find beautiful, fascinating, arresting, possibly odd, sometimes humorous, with my art. It is my delight and interest I share with the viewer. Part of my joy is exploring and mastering different mediums. Being able to go from one medium to another keeps the whole process fresh and enlivened and peppered with discovery."
