Congratulations to PetiteAmore for being voted by YOU as Commune’s Featured Local of the month. I messaged Chantel to congratulate her on winning and also to get the dirt on what PetiteAmore has going on.

My inspiration comes from life. From my own creativity and from the people I surround myself with. I’m constantly inspired by other artists and my experiences.

2. How did you come up with the name?

The name is something I’ve been using for a very long time. I’m small and I’ve got a big heart. It was a quirky name I gave to anything I created. So, when I finally got the cards going, I knew I’d call the line PetiteAmore.

3. Where can people find your stuff? Any upcoming shows or cool things you are working on?

Currently, my cards can be found in my Etsy shop, www.petiteamore.etsy.com, and updates can be found on my Facebook, https://www.facebook.com/PetiteAmore.

I’ve also just started working with a local gallery/store, Double Break. I’m a big supporter of local art and independent businesses in San Diego and really excited to be working with these guys. If you haven’t been in…check it out!! Same block as Tin Can.

4. What is your favorite thing about Commune?
I love the community that has been created around Commune. Each event is a true testament to the name. It’s a great blend of local art, music & trunk shows. I’m not sure there’s anything else quite like it San Diego and it’s got a great vibe.

5. Why do you think it’s important to take a stand against Big Tobacco?

They’ve grown so big, it’s as if  they really believe consequences don’t apply, or that they’re untouchable. It’s appalling.
6. Anything else you want people to know about PetiteAmore?

There’s a lot in the works from new cards, to collaborations. Don’t expect just an ordinary line of greeting cards, because they’re all original images. Keep posted on all this on my Facebook and check my Etsy for new products on a monthly basis.
