Marianne Richmond Studios

Writer, artist, and connection expert, Marianne Richmond has touched the lives of millions over the past decade through her publishing company, Marianne Richmond Studios, Inc. Her uplifting creations are sold nationwide — from corner gift shops and bookstores to mass merchants and department stores.

Since her start in 1991 with just 20 greeting cards, she has become a recognized creator of numerous books, hundreds of cards and bright, colorful giftware. Her goal that ties it all together? “To help people convey their feelings and connect with those who mean the most to them,” says Marianne.

What makes Marianne unique are her abilities as both writer and artist. When asked where her ideas come from, she says, “I always ask God what message He wants me to put out there. I also try to be in tune with people’s life circumstances. What can I create to help make life a little more memorable, special or more fun?” Products include childrens books, journals, grams and mini-books, art prints, celebrate plates, greeting cards and stationery.
