About Us
Inspired by online postal galleries resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, I have founded The Courrier mail art gallery.
This nonprofit mail art project is meant to welcome artists from all over the world and invite them to create, share and spread hope to others now and indefinitely into the future. The Courrier is a platform for those who want to be heard, to inspire and to experience art as a therapeutic means of self expression.
Founded May 2020. Created as a gift to the world with the intention of connecting all manner of aspiring artists and professionals, all peoples and even animals (yes, we allow animal art) for the sole purpose of solidifying unity through art. Here you will find art in every medium, every variation of artistic expression. This is a space to celebrate life's wonders, mourn its turmoils, and engage in common ground. It is our hope that through these experiences strangers will become friends.
WELCOME.
We are a virtual international art gallery.
And we belong to you.

Our Founders
Kathleen Day Kathleen Day ( @artist.kday on Instagram ) is an internationally published multidisciplinary contemporary artist, author and the mother of a special needs child, ten-year-old autistic artist Aiden Gamez.
Art has been a part of her daily life since childhood. She began her professional freelance art career directly after graduating high school in 2000. Having lived in and traveled to various places throughout the world, San Antonio, Texas is now home-base. Miss Day is known for her extensive modeling career, while currently her art contributions and installations are her main focus. She's now been published in many art magazines and has been (and continues to be) featured in many international platforms and galleries for her body of work, the most recent of which have been in London, UK + Shanghai, China + the Frontone province of Italy + Stuttgart, Germany. With several children's book series of her own in the works, she is also working on illustrations for children's books authored by others. Having been published in The Library of Congress as early as age 14 for her poetry, the bulk of her archival written body of work can now be viewed on her website. Kat is the primary founder and head of The Courrier nonprofit international mail art project. You can view her own artwork throughout our website here and via the outgoing gallery. |
Aiden Gamez Aiden Gamez ( @i.am.aiden.g on Instagram ) is an incredible ten year old artist. He suffers from a cognitive disability and is low verbal, which means that he expresses himself primarily through his art, interpretive dance and music.
Aiden has been avidly painting and creating various forms of tactile art since he was 2 years old. His first serious work started at age 3 when his family noticed him taking finger painting to a whole new level. His pieces were so well thought out and fully covering that he gained interest from adults and other local artists in the local San Antonio art community. He sold his first round of paintings at age 3, and continues to earn money selling his artwork to this day. Accumulatively, he's sold over 200 pieces since 2013. Likewise, he has now been published in Diafano, an Australian art magazine, published to an Italian nonprofit for children under quarantine, and in many other arenas to include the children's art branch of New York's MoMA on social media. His Instagram page managed by his mother K. Day was created to bring awareness to the world that autistic children are exceptional and extraordinary. Just because their speech and social skills may be impaired or delayed doesn't mean they don't have anything to say. And in Aiden's case, his body of work speaks volume. We see greatness in his future; for it is undeniably visible in his present. |
