My name is Penelope Gittings, and I am the nature loving artist who started Painted Turtle LLC. Much of Michigan's natural beauty and wonder, including wildlife, forests, and sand dunes, are threatened by climate change, development, and invasive species.

The goal of Painted Turtle is to help share the beauty of nature with your friends and family, as well as raise awareness for wildlife. Every card design was hand painted in the hopes of helping conservation efforts in Michigan.

I would like to thank everyone for supporting not only my art, but plants and animals across the beautiful state of Michigan.
