Sheri Schwarzweller aka Sheri – OpenWindo Cards • OpenWindo Art • GhillieGords • Gourd & Clay Gallery

The life of OpenWindo Cards is an old story. It starts with inspiration sparked by a picture created by a friend of mine. It was a playful endeavor – still is – which Phoenixed several times over a period of twelve years. The idea of a set of cards evolved not only from my immersion into the mysteries of Tarot, but the clear and indisputable messages that came through as the pictures took form.

Going back to school and entering into the field of graphic design, I believed my real parachute had finally opened. It seemed to satisfy a lifelong hunger for creativity in the work I did for a living. When my husband, Sam, accepted a job in Kailua, Oahu and I followed him to the Islands where we lived for a year. I'd had every intention of continuing my studies and career, but there was something about the island that made it all seem so far away, like a helium balloon that got away.

From that year of art, new friendships, geckos and white ginger, something in me and outside of me shifted – perhaps a window opened and shed a new light. Upon my return to the mainland, I knew what I needed to do – The cards and all of their power needed to be produced and then released through the OpenWindo to work their magic in the world.

With deep gratitude for Sam's support and a giant leap of faith, I would like to present OpenWindo Cards and OpenWindo Gallery

I dedicate these OpenWindo Cards to the memory of both my mother, Theresa, whose creative spirit inspires me to this day, and my little brother, Wes, who is teaching me still, about love and acceptance. May we all fly together again one day.
