The birth of Wanart grew out of a basic need and desire. Being Chinese American, Joyce often had a difficult time finding fun, culturally appropriate greeting cards for friends and family. After working in architectural design for a few years, Joyce’s entrepreneurial spirit and passion for design led her to launch Wanart with the creation of 12 delightful designs featuring the animals of the Chinese Zodiac. Joyce’s distinctive style merges a fun, contemporary design aesthetic with Asian cultural influences and traditions. Her clean yet whimsical style combined with her sophisticated use of color resulted in designs with wide-market appeal.

As the popularity of Wanart designs grew, so did its product line and services. Today, in addition to its line of greeting cards, Wanart offers a variety of items from tote bags to infant apparel along with custom greeting cards, invitations, and announcements for corporate and personal use. In recent years, Joyce also started working with other companies by creating art for licensing on a wide variety of consumer products and surface designs. Wanart products and products featuring Wanart licensed designs can be found at specialty stores, museum shops and cultural institutions across the country and abroad.

Joyce's debut children's book "Greetings from Kiwi and Pear" will be published by Blue Apple Books, a leading, independent publisher of innovative children's books, and released in Spring of 2009.

Wanart is committed to providing their customers with high-quality products supported by integrity, creativity and exceptional service. It is this commitment to excellence that fuels the continuing growth and success of the company.
