Angelic Solutions Soars to Heights Beyond Expectations

Centerville, Massachusetts – In business for less than a year, Marie Forland, artist and creator of Angelic Solutions, a Cape Cod-based art card and collectibles company, is enjoying a year of amazing growth and recognition.

The company, based out of her home in Centerville, Massachusetts, came onto the national scene last summer when she introduced the line at both the Los Angeles and Boston Gift Shows. According to Forland, nothing has been the same since.

“My angels have taken me to places I’ve never expected,” delights Forland from her studio. “Sales are steadily increasing and I look forward to daily e-mails from happy consumers. I feel so blessed!

“Angels are everywhere if you are willing to open your heart and see them,” Forland says. Her newest images, including rabbits, mermaids, cupcakes, couples in love, angel food cake – and even a garden party as described to her by her late grandmother, certainly give us a glimmer of her world.

“I just listen to my heart and let it take me where it needs to go,” says Forland. “I never sat down and planned all of this out,” she says. “I am an artist just trying to bring a little hope and joy into any heart that is seeking, including my own. The rest of this is happening with grace and with helping hands from other dreamers like me.”

And “happening” seems to be an understatement! In less than one year, Forland has expanded to a national wholesale base, has appeared in two national magazine features, and is soon to appear on the cover of Cape Business magazine. Demand has been so great that she has hired a part-time assistant to keep up with production and fulfillment. Forland has lowered her cost of goods and passed on the lower cost to both wholesale and retail buyers – increasing sales dramatically. She will be launching a new “2007 -2008 Collection” featuring new art card images, matted prints, and hand embellished Giclees. She is taking orders for personalized spirit paintings and is offering meditation tools and classes to help others connect to their own angels and their sacred creativity.
