Hello All,

This is a long shot, I know. I love Colorano Silk First Day Covers. Colorano used to hire different artist for the First Day Covers. Does anyone have a list or know of artists they hired or have any information regarding this? I found a Canadian site that talks about a few of the artists hired for Canadian issues, but I have all US. There are a few covers that I would love to find out more about the artist and if anyone has this information or where I could obtain it, I'd be so grateful!

Thanks,
Mary

The artist for your Stage Coach cover is Harrison Gillette, who rates a mention here:
