"The Village Christmas Card"

Olivia Thomason, Stone Mountain's Award-Winning Artist Has Her Beautiful Greeting Cards Ready Just In Time For The Holidays

( "Christmas In The Village" )

A few years back, Olivia Thomason painted a cheerful, joyous scene inspired by the annual Christmas Parade in Stone Mountain Historic Village. At the request of friends, neighbors and some highly-respected city leaders, she produced Christmas cards featuring the painting. The cards sold out in just a few days.

She has these cards ready once again in time for the upcoming holiday celebrations. "Throughout my career as an artist," said Ms. Thomason, "I've painted cards for all kinds of special occasions: Christmas, Mother's Day, and even one for the Atlanta Braves." The Braves card was a 1991 effort meant for friends who celebrated Atlanta's baseball heroics in the 1991 World Series.

The Card, titled "The Tomahawk Christmas Card," took off, becoming a huge hit with Braves fans including Delta Airlines and Coca-Cola. "I sold out six times," she recalled, "but managed to keep one which I have framed."
