Mary Engelbreit was born in St. Louis, Missouri. She began{{when|date=June 2013}} her career by designing and creating greeting cards, for which she eventually became famous. Later on she wrote and illustrated children's books.{{Citation needed|date=June 2013}} BiographyEngelbreit attributes her beginnings in art to getting eyeglasses in second grade and being able to see details of the world around her clearly for the first time.[2] After meeting her first artist, at age 9, she became convinced she needed her own studio space, which her mother helped set up in the family linen closet.[3] Interested in art throughout her school years, Engelbreit eventually began to work for a local advertising company, Hot Buttered Graphics.[4] Hoping to work as an illustrator of children's books, she shopped her portfolio around New York City without success. At the suggestion of one art director{{who|date=June 2013}}{{why|date=June 2013}}, she began working in greeting cards; her first nationally distributed greeting card featured a malapropism that played off an old saying, "Life is just a bowl of cherries", showing a girl looking at a chair piled high with bowls, with the legend: "Life is just a chair of bowlies."[5] She began in St.Louis. She also sold her greeting cards, and it was a hit in University City. It was called: "a vast empire of cuteness!"[6] Engelbreit married Phil Delano, a social worker, in 1977; in 1986, they formed their own company, presently called [https://www.maryengelbreit.com/ Mary Engelbreit Studios]. The couple has had two children: Evan, born in 1980; and Will, born in 1983. Evan died in June 2000. He left behind a daughter, Mikayla, who Mary and Phil adopted as their own daughter.[7] Engelbreit has a star on the St. Louis Walk of Fame.[8] References1. ^{{Cite web|url=http://stlouiswalkoffame.org/inductee/mary-engelbreit/|title=St. Louis Walk of Fame|last=|first=|date=|website=St. Louis Walk of Fame|archive-url=|archive-date=|dead-url=|access-date=}} 2. ^Mary Engelbreit.
