Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
I have always loved exchanging art with other artists around the world because it stimulates my self-expression and tunes me in to what other artists are doing and thinking at a deeper level than what I see in museums or read in books. I also love being part of the eternal network, a form of communication which stimulates me artistically, emotionally, intellectually, and politically/socially all at the same time. :)

Trying to get back on track...

Posted on January 11, 2013 at 8:09pm 4 Comments

Greetings to everyone!  Here it is a new year and I'm going to try and use that as the impetus to get going on some old projects.  My mom and my husband's mom both died last year quite suddenly and just a few months apart so I pretty much lost focus on a lot of things.

For all of you who participated in my Year of the Golden Rabbit call, I am still planning on doing the documentation.  Most of it is here: …

Thank you for still considering my dragon card. I will wait for the mail as it is much  more fun. I also have had many health issues but am intending to get back into my art this year too!

Had dental surgery on Monday and the pain and drug filled aftermath left me a bit off my game so I'm only now uploading my Halloween artistamps!  Hope you guys like some of them. :D

Convidamos voces para participarem do nosso Projeto de
Arte Postal
Mago ou Magi, plural da palavra Persa antiga magus,
significando tanto imagem quanto "um homem sábio",
que vêm do verbo cuja raiz é "meh", significando grande, e em sânscrito,
“maha". Mago usualmente denota aquele que pratica a magia ou ocultismo;
no entanto, pode indicar também alguém que possui conhecimentos e habilidades
superiores como, por exemplo, quando se diz que um músico é um "mago dos teclados",
pois toca com perfeição o instrumento musical.

Tema: Mago
Técnica: Livre
Tamanho: A4 ( no máximo)
Inicio do Projeto: 2010
Término do Projeto: 3 / 11 / 2013

Qualquer pessoa pode participar,
Artistas e qualquer pessoa ao redor do mundo, enviando trabalhos com o tema “Mago”.

My Mom, Dorothy Johnson Atkins, was a college professor, an artist, and an independent thinker who was talented, stubborn, brilliant, and funny.  She passed away last Sunday afternoon peacefully at home where she was determined to stay.  Here are some self-portraits she made for mail art calls I hosted as well as a painting she which represents her style of art the past few years.  R.I.P. Mom - you are missed.
