The name Black Rabbit has two origins; the name which as a child I used to entitle the novel and film Watership Down (after the Black Rabbit of Inle, or the bunny grim reaper). The other is after one of my own beloved rabbits, Pippin, who is my black rabbit and has such courage, charisma and attitude! I believe the Black Rabbit of Inle would be given a run for his money if he tried to cart off dear old Pippin!

I started making cards in high school, when I was never particularly happy with the ordinary cards available at rather exorbitant prices. Having a natural talent for drawing, composition and creativity (a talent I thankfully inherited from my father and Oma) I embarked on my own card creations. Fifteen years later, I decided to expand from gifting cards to just friends, family and work colleagues and also include my passion for and hobby of photography. Thus begun the creation of Black Rabbit Artisan.
