In her childhood, Mary Engelbreit chose fantasy figures for her art subjects. It didn’t take long, however, before she discovered the best source for creative inspiration—“My art springs from real life,” she says, “and real life just keeps happening.” Mary estimates that she has completed more than 5,000 illustrations in her career. She still dreams up every concept and draws every original illustration by hand. Mary and her staff go to great lengths to make certain that her artwork is reproduced as faithfully to her original work as possible.

Today, thousands of retailers nationally and internationally sell Mary Engelbreit products. It’s an amazing degree of success for any company, but even more remarkable considering that it all began with a single-minded young girl who decided at age 11 that she was going to be an artist. And while Mary Engelbreit Studios has grown into a global licensing and retail business, that same girl still sits at its core, grown up now, but drawing her pictures with the same sense of wonder, imagination and enthusiasm.

To be released in July 2010, Mary Engelbreit: Stitched So Cute! will be available in book and craft stores, and at Amazon.com, leisurearts.com, and theleisureboutique.com.
