About Us
At Blue Mound Graphics, we are dedicated to preserving and celebrating the rich tapestry of religious and cultural traditions through our beautifully crafted calendars. With over 70 years of experience, our mission is to bring joy and connection to communities nationwide.
Our Journey
Formerly Sacred Pictures Company, Blue Mound Graphics is a family-owned wall calendar business founded by the late Harry G. John and his wife Erica in 1952. Today, we are dedicated to inspiring people through stunning calendars.
Harry G. John was the grandson of Frederick Miller, founder of the Miller Brewing Company. In 1971, Harry and Erica sold their brewery stock to Phillip Morris and established the De Rancé Foundation, which became the world's largest Catholic charity. Together, their good works spanned the globe, building sanctuaries for lepers in Sudan, digging wells in Africa, and building churches, convents and rectories in India. They funded U.S. inner-city schools and donated to thousands of Catholic projects nationwide.
In the 1950s, Harry G. John formed Sacred Pictures Company. He firmly believed in the world's greatest religious art treasures and reproduced these beautiful works on calendars. He then distributed them nationally to churches and businesses. Over 70 years later, we've continued the tradition of promotional Catholic calendars and expanded our offerings to include additional faiths and cultural styles.
Our Calendar Crew
Let us introduce ourselves.
Angel
Hello! My name is Angel, and I am a proud member of the Blue Mound Graphics team. I graduated from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee with a bachelor's degree in Spanish. I have a deep desire to bridge gaps between English and Spanish-speaking communities. My extensive retail and customer service background enables me to provide impeccable assistance to our customers. When I am not diligently working, I enjoy playing basketball, reading, and playing video games.
Tony
My name is Anthony. I am proud to be a part of the next chapter in Blue Mound Graphics history. I earned a Bachelor of Science from the University of Wisconsin - Madison, where I was a FLAS Fellow. I am also a Certified Associate in Project Management. My love for travel and new perspectives has taken me around the world, but the beauty of Lake Michigan brought me back to Wisconsin once again.
Christina
My name is Christina. I am a part of our exceptional customer service team and enjoy all the different duties that entails from sales to proofreading imprints. Believe it or not we do find things that our customers missed on their imprint and we will fix it (with their permission, of course) to make their imprint shine. I can honestly say that all my co-workers truly care about our customers and are committed to exceeding our customers’ expectations. My background is in retail advertising and managing translation services having graduated from St. Norbert College with a double major in Media Communications and German. I am a first-generation American of German descent and spent many childhood summers in southern Germany visiting family. When I'm not at work I enjoy baking sourdough bread, reading and traveling.
Connor
Howdy there! My name is Connor and I'm pleased to be a Blue Mound Calendars team member. I graduated from Columbia College Chicago with a bachelor's degree in journalism and communications. I foster a love for print products and enjoy the process of turning customer ideas into beautiful, physical calendars. Outside the office I enjoy biking, swimming, playing chess, foraging for fungi, or fiddling with musical instruments.
Jorge
Hello, my name is Jorge, and I am honored to be part of the Blue Mound Graphics team. With experience in sales and customer service, I’m focused on building long-lasting, collaborative partnerships and ensuring that we not only meet but exceed expectations. I’m excited about the opportunity to expand my role at Blue Mound Graphics, where I can take on greater responsibility, contribute to the company’s growth, and leverage my bilingual skills to enhance cross-cultural collaboration. When I’m away from the office, I enjoy reading, traveling, watching football (Fly Eagles Fly!), and spending time with my family.
Nikki
My name is Nikki. I oversee the production of our calendars and work in the sales department. Before coming to Blue Mound, I was a CNA for over 20 years. Working with people and getting to know them is what I love. When I am not hunting for paper, envelopes, or boxes, I am the mom of one great kid. I am also a member of a few dart leagues in Wisconsin. If there is a fair or festival in town, you will find me there with my family.
Tiffany
As the Marketing Manager at Blue Mound Graphics, I’m passionate about connecting with our customers and diving deep into the calendar industry. I take pride in helping bring our brand to life and showcasing the creativity and care behind every calendar we produce. Outside the office, I'm a certified PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor, always ready for the next underwater adventure. Whether exploring Wisconsin’s scenic beauty or charting new marketing strategies, I’m proud to be part of the dedicated Blue Mound calendar crew.
Teri
My name is Teri. As the office and sales manager at Blue Mound Graphics, I believe the key to success is teamwork. Together with my high-performing team we have advanced our calendar process to be the best in the industry. Through our level-up attitude, we are going to keep moving forward. Our top-notch customer service keeps clients coming back year after year.
The sky is the limit at Blue Mound Graphics. The opportunities to advance my skills and challenge myself have been endless. I enjoy traveling coast to coast to promote our stunning calendars. I feel blessed to have built relationships with exceptionally talented and kind individuals along the way.
When I am away from the office I hit the hiking hills, hunt for the best pizza, and rock the mic on karaoke night!
