Welcome to the feminist fantasy greeting cards of Jen Greta Cart. These beautiful blank cards feature Goddess art, Maine Mermaids, magical crones and a maiden warrior or two.
Mermaid greeting cards are here in many guises, from the playful little red haired girl mermaid of “Singing With Mermaids” to the importunate mermaid in roiling surf of “Mermaid Memories.” Listen to your inner mermaid!
Take a look at the feminist fantasy greeting cards that celebrate the power and mystery of the older woman. “Wisewoman” features the crone in front of her cave of mysteries. “Welcome to my Jungle” shows us a silver haired nude woman relaxing in the embrace of a Tiger. And a white haired woman in a bustled dress takes first steps along a mysterious jungle path in “Into My Jungle.” Those of us who have passed out of the childbearing years appreciate images that celebrate maturity and our new journeys. Our imaginations, hearts and souls have not dried up because our wombs no longer bear!
The Goddess greeting cards are more than feminist fantasy greeting cards – for some people they are Goddess related religious art. Greeting cards suitable for Wiccan Holy Days can be hard to find. A Female Creator sculpts the animals from clay in “Breath of the Goddess. And the three aspects of the Goddess sit together in a field of golden grain in “Maiden, Mother, Wisewoman.”

This image is from a story I wrote, called “Singing With Mermaids”, set near Pemaquid Lighthouse on the Maine coast.

Four sisters dance ballet as they balance gracefully on the ridgepole of their New England Home under a crescent moon. Their pastel dresses add to the dreamlike quality of the painting. Twenty years ago, I painted this to express the feeling I had about the Mackey girls, a family of sisters who took me into their lives as a child. I’ve always remembered the intense femininity of their environment and their personalities, and one evening as I drove under a twilight sky, I suddenly imagined them dancing in this scene. Wherever they are, I wish I could say “Thank you, Mackey girls!”
A girl feeds her chickens in a woodland homestead clearing as a stag watches from the woods.
A magical dancer stands on point under an old fashioned street lamp. Her face is sad, and she seems lonely, but her pose is graceful and erect. I modeled her face on the lovely Gloria Grahame, an actress from Hollywood’s golden age who often played bad girls with a heart of gold. In the background is a land mark of Hallowell, Maine: Brass & Friends Antiques, a place that for years lit Water Street at night with windows like an Aladdin’s cave.
Painted ladies is about the joy of color, and the joy of a colorful life. My painted lady sits in the window of her cupola letting her beauty shine out into the early evening sky. She’s reminding us that sometimes it’s good to flash your legs and feel the breeze on them.
Two adorable girls in fluffy petticoats and embroidered blouses run through a field of lupines. This is a wonderful memory for me. I painted it back in the days of my daughter’s childhood here in Maine, which really did include a lot of lupine picking and running through fields with her friends, because this is Maine. Although they are grown now, I believe this childhood lives on in their hearts and memories, as it does in this image. I hope this image of joy brings joy wherever this card may be sent.

I painted “Welcome to My Jungle” as a kind of feminist meditation on the acceptance and power of a beautiful older woman’s body. Woman and tiger both gaze directly at the viewer, as if to say, “This is me. See me. Take me as I am. Or not.” This lady and tiger greeting card makes a wonderful Croning card, and I also think it’s a great greeting card to send to a lover.
Inspired by the Edna St. Vincent Millay poem, WIld Swans: I looked in my heart while the wild swans went over. And what did I see I had not seen before? Only a question less or a question more; Nothing to match the flight of wild birds flying…….

A female urban climber has scaled the marble gargoyles and angels of her apartment building to kiss the man enchanted in stone. This image makes a very unusual and romantic valentine or anniversary card, and it’s also a great greeting card for the adventurous tough women in your life. The painting illustrated a story I wrote as a very young woman. It was called Stone Piper. A young woman became obsessed with the marble knight who played the flute high above the city. Late one night she kisses the statue and it comes to life.
The Gypsy Maiden, Mother and Grandmother ride their horses through an aquamarine surf as the golden sunrise starts the new day.

This dragon greeting card shows us a grey gowned red headed woman peacefully reading while cradled in the coils of her dragon friend. A lovely greeting card for the book lover or librarian, as well as the fantasy lovers among us. I did the painting as a portrait of my daughter in law, who really should have her own dragon – if she did, I know they would read together.

A fun wizard greeting card for the magical man or astronomer in your life. From the painting “Armillary Sphere” by Jen Greta Cart. It’s interestingly rennaisance and off-beat, and you’ll have fun trying to guess the story behind this unusual group of friends. A wizard, a winged, tall booted tomboy fairy, an owl, and a faithful rat make calculation with an armillary sphere. That’s a model of the celestial globe constructed from rings and hoops representing the equator, the tropics, and other celestial circles.
