Anne Baird worked for 8 years as a teacher and school administrator. She is the author of 11 successful published children's books (William Morrow and Simon & Schuster), and is a freelance artist and journalist who has worked for three small newspapers and for private clients.

Her GODDESS CARD line grew from a birthday card she created for her daughter, Amanda, who was disheartened at being Rubenesque in the Land of Thin. (Los Angeles.) That seminal card declaring "You're a GODDESS, not a nymph!" evolved into a long line of love notes and affirmations for ALL women. At over 100 cards, the line is steadily growing and will sooon be going digital! Yes, Goddess Cards is on the verge of becoming the Electronic Goddess - for the Goddess in a Hurry.

Anne is proud that the distinguished Renfrew Center of California, that treats self-esteem issues in women, has endorsed her as an artist whose images promote "healthy body images."

She is prouder still of letters from women all over the world who tell her that the cards are "inspirational" and FUN! She treasures every letter.

"Keep them coming!" she says.
