Hello to all!  My name is Cara Mitchell, but my nickname is Perlyyyy or Perl.  In case you are wondering where the nickname came from, my grandmother’s real name was Pearl, a wonderful lady, may god rest her soul. 

I seem to have inherited my mother’s passion and talent for art.  She used to illustrate disney characters like Bambi & Thumper.  Her art was mostly for her own entertainment and for us kids.  We used to go out to a rock quarry in Pacifica, California and mom would set up her oils or oil pastels, easil and chair and us kids would run around playing and enjoying the nature around us and mom was happily doing her art.  I really cherish those memories, they have great feelings attached to them. 

I don’’t have any formal training in art.  I do what feels good and what attracts my eye.  I have been told that I am very good with colors.  I know that I do put extra emphasis on coloring when I am doing a project.  I really try and search the color palette for the color to help me accomplish the look that I am going for.  I have been playing around with Adobe Elements for a few years now teaching myself as I go along, with my mouse and wacom tablet.   

I have a gallery on Zazzle and on Greeting Card Universe.  I never thought I would be doing greeting cards, but it seems that my style or styles work very well on cards, which I am totally happy about! 

In this book you will find some of my work that I am most proudest of.  I have many more in both galleries, so stop by and do some browsing!  

Thank you Phrank so much for putting this book together.  You worked hard on this, and it really turned out great!
