Maria Gossard has always seen the world through an artist’s lens. With a background in Art and Design, Paper Conservation, and Printmaking, she transforms every event into a masterpiece—beautifully crafted on paper.

Born and raised on the sun-drenched island of Cyprus, Maria grew up surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, with a British mother and a Greek father shaping her multicultural heritage. Her journey brought her to the U.S. right after high school to pursue her education, where she trained with a prestigious design firm in Washington, D.C., specializing in opulent residences across the Middle East. It was there that she met her husband, Paul, and together they made Dayton, Ohio, their home for the past 32 years.

While raising four children, Maria’s creative spirit never rested. She launched a line of home and garden accessories, then later acquired and expanded an internationally recognized cross-stitch brand. In 2006, an unexpected opportunity arose—she was offered the very print business she had relied on for her designs. She seized it. Today, that business thrives, offering custom design and letterpress printing for weddings, special occasions, and beyond.

Maria’s passion is simple: to bring exceptional design and fine craftsmanship to her community and beyond, creating timeless works of art on the finest paper.
