Printemps – Set of 10 Postcards

The Collection

Printemps by Robin Rivers is a set of 10 postcards printed from an original mixed media accordion book. Each card depicts a vintage romantic scene or letter. Each card is 4×6″ and printed on high-quality postcard paper.  I package them with care and shipped flat to ensure no creasing occurs.  Please note that colours and contrast vary between different monitors.  The colours of the print may not match your monitor’s display exactly. Additionally, copyright of my artwork does not transfer with purchase.

The Inspiration

Paris. The Belle Epoque. The gardens. The lace. The romance. The swoon. What can I say, I’m a romantic and Paris is at the heart of it all. This series lingers on the greens and golds, the muted tones of spring rains and early blooms filled with daydreams, stories, and letters. These pieces are sweet and soft, with just a touch of mystery. They are the second set in The Romantics Series that will emerge over time as a larger Studio Albertine project.

The Artist

Robin Rivers is a multidisciplinary storyteller, exploring the nature of time through memory, myth, and magic. Her work often includes her original photography, handmade papers, ephemera collected on her travels, and retellings of old stories; and is deeply influenced by her Polish and French roots. Robin creates all pieces at Studio Albertine in Vancouver, Canada—on the unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples. This includes the territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
