Diva Greetings is the realization of a life-long dream. To gather a group of brilliantly gifted artisans and create something essentially new, groundbreaking.

I am a native of the Dominican Republic and have lived in America for the last decade. As an artist/designer, my multicultural life experiences has given me a truly unique perspective on issues that ultimately led to the creation of Diva Greetings...

Everytime I have stepped into a card store I'd walk up and down the aisles searching for a Spanish greeting card. I mean, here I am living in New York City, the worlds leader of a melting pot of culture, and I can't find a greeting card in my native language, Spanish. I understand that as a community we need to assimilate; but please, we reserve the right to retain some of our cultural heritage, our language, (even if only in the privacy of our own homes).

Just kidding...sorta.

Diva Greetings is a Spanish language greeting card company. Our goal is to execute fresh, contemporary images and communicate them in a striking original manner with a taste for modernism.

Now consumers like myself can stop searching for a Spanish language greeting card that does not insult. We needn't be barraged with images of peasants carrying baskets of fruit or mustached men playing flamenco guitars. After all, the hispanic community with it's centuries of vibrant history, swathed in technicolor, deserves better.

Diva Greetings does not discriminate, we just offer more choices. All of our cards, while featuring the Spanish language, also include an English translation.

We understand that the hispanic population continues to grow in the U.S. at a break-neck pace and we plan on taking complete advantage, and we hope that you as the retailer will do the same.

If you are a card store owner, and you don't carry Spanish language greeting cards you can no longer claim that you are catering to the mainstream audience, because the spanish speaking population makes up a significant part of that stream.

Diva Greetings, at its best, creates dynamic visuals combined with concise verbal imagery. Simple messages that manage to crack the mold, cross cultural boundaries and appeal to the widest number of potential consumers. Our ideal audience is (and could be): Spanish, American, Chinese, Lithuanian....Whatever.

MIGUELINA RIVERA GRULLÓN

Miguelina Rivera is a 27-year-old Dominican-born artist. Miguelina moved to New York City five years ago, after having been awarded a full scholarship from "Cooper Union for Science and Advancement". Miguelina attended the prestigious "Cooper Union" after first receiving her undergraduate degree from Parsons School of Design where she attended, with a full scholarship, in Altos de Chavón, Dominican Republic.

Miguelina is the most passionate and spiritual artist that I have come to know. As my sister, I had the unwitting opportunity to grow up, just steps away from one of the most gifted artists of our generation. Some might say I'm biased, maybe I am, but I'm definitely not wrong.

In Miguelina's very short career she has already won numerous prestigious honors and is currently the 2001 recipient of the "National Bienal de Artes Plásticas". Because of this honor, the best of this young artists work will be on view for the month of July 2001 at the ³Galería de Arte Moderno².
