Hi Rod, I have never been to Iceland, I have been to Alaska. I love auroras.

I started mail art in 1993 when a fellow artist from the District of Columbia Collage Society told me about it and gave me information on calls. I have never regretted doing this, I have had some wonderful collaborations and made some realfriendships with people who visited me. i never would have had these experiences if not for mail art. As an exhibiting fine artist it is a very demanding lonely field. I do not find the comraderie in the arts that I find in mail art. Hope you really like it and get going on it.

I started Nov. 07, sending a work for a call from Greece (by Georgia Gregoriadou). My best friend was the one who insisted me in participating. I didnt realized what was it about (all the mail art thing...) I thought it was just an exhibit over seas...
The funny thing is that when I learn about Mail Art, I just love it, but my friend instead, didnt want to participate anymore... I only wish I did know before about Mail Art, because is inspirational!

Let us dance together on the ether of the Internet.

typos are a terror and the unfortunate result of narrow space, especially the narrow space between my ears. Of course this is really just an excuse when the truth is my spelling is rubbish and albeit Ruud (bless him) has provided us with a fascinating platform it lacks a spelling checker. I suppose if I wanted to be really pedantic I would write in WORD then copy and paste but methinks that this method would take away the spontanaity (wow how to spell that word!?) I am very happy to be talking to such royalty (of course you are an Empress Chantal I sussed that out quick time) especialy royalty that has such a liberal spreading of life experience. Art and being an artist is a great palliative to life's bitter moments, we are indeed privileged to have such a relief/release.
Dream on, I'll be with you when you look.

Rod, please excuse the typos, I have a hard time reading what I write in this narrow space.

Hi Rod, I am 2 times divorced, my first died in a robbery attempt when he was in New Mexico opperating his amature radio set. It was part of a serial murder. My daughter now 41, was devastated, she was 2 when he left and 17 when he died. She never got to really meet him. My last is an attorney in his own practice and my son from with him. This was 16 years ago and I am fine. I have been an artist since 10 and now 62 next week. I won all sorts of junior competitions and went to art school and college where I graduated with honors in the arts. My last thought that it was not necessary for me to pursue my art and should work in a "regular" job, so after 22 years of marriage when it was finally my time to do my thing I had my funds cut off and I simply walked out and sued him for damages and won. Now I had had many exhibitions all over the place, in some museums, mail arted the world and sold a few works and also sold mailart as framed miniatures and am having a ball. I can lose my child to divorce, but not my soul.
