From a few sketches on a notepad in her mother’s hospital room and a dream, to a bookstore quality calendar, Duluth, Minnesota artist Gina Befera’s inspired 2010 unicorn art calendar will be on store shelves this holiday season from coast to coast.

“The unicorns started out as therapy for both of us really, a way to amuse my mom.” Explains Gina. “I spent so many hours at the hospital with my mom I brought a sketch pad and drawing helped us pass the time.” Each unicorn marked the moods and emotions of the last days Gina would spend with her mom, Claire before she died from complications of COPD on December 7th of 2006. Her mom’s dream was for a calendar full of her daughter’s unicorns and it was Gina’s quest to make her mother’s dream come true.

After knocking on lots of doors, someone finally said yes and took a chance on an unknown artist with an unusual calendar. Rachel Dashnaw, Buying Manager for Calendar Holdings LLC bought Gina’s unicorn calendar for calendars.com and her calendar, Unicorns and Other Magic became a bestseller for them. This year Gina’s 2010 calendar, Unicorns Signs and Secrets, featuring all-new unicorn-fairy art, is on store shelves coast to coast in 165 Calendar Club Superstores.

“I just wish Mom was here to see what’s happening with the calendar. She would be thrilled.” Expressed Gina.

The art for Gina’s 2010 calendar was created using pastel and marker on recycled 80 lb. Strathmore drawing paper, photographed and digitized for layout using CS2 software. Gina does all the work herself, including custom-design of the calendar grids to match the art. Her new calendar also includes fairies and other creatures engaged in playful fantasy. The calendar is sweet-tempered and suitable for all ages. Each work of art is titled and every month includes inspired writings composed by the artist. The calendar is 12 x 24 inches, printed by Delario and retails for $12.99. For more information or a personal interview or signing appearance please call 218.349.9079.
