Beautiful, touching mail art from April Rocco

April Rocco is an amazing mail art artist.  Everything I've ever gotten from her has been warm, earthy, gorgeous and original.  I've always been amazed at how she successfully runs hard and headlong outside the box of what we normally imagine to send through the USPS mail delivery system.  Her innovation and daring excites and inspires me.  I'm grateful that she sends me art because it's all felt wonderful and deeply real.

Sometime over the last few months she sent me this over 1/2 inch thick piece of cardboard with a beautiful, moving, weeping dove which says simply "Some days are sadder than others".  It's the truth and this is such a great piece of art which hits close to home.  

Thank you, April.  Your mind and art is a treasure.
