Blue Mountain Arts — A Story of Love
Blue Mountain Arts was founded in 1971 by poet Susan Polis Schutz and physicist/illustrator Stephen Schutz. In the basement of their Boulder, CO apartment, they silk-screened posters of Susan's poems paired with Stephen's paintings and then traveled the country selling the posters from their pickup-truck camper. Everywhere they went, people were drawn to the candor and emotion of Susan's words and the mystical beauty of Stephen's illustrations.
Today, the Colorado-based company continues to be one of the premier independent card and book publishers in the world. Susan and Stephen credit much of the company's success to the fact that it has never strayed from the principles and beliefs on which it was founded. Our dense inks, rich colors, beautiful papers, and warm, communicative style make every product we create at Blue Mountain Arts a heartfelt keepsake that we hope someone special in your life will treasure forever.
