I have always loved exchanging art with other artists in my own country and around the world because it makes it possible for us to share our creations without having to do it through the gallery system. It stimulates self-expression and creates community while giving us all a way to get our art into the world.

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.

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
The one above stars my beautiful but fierce daughter Kimber.
The one below is me as a pirate for my friend Trilo...
The following is my husband Graham channeling Richard Ayoade...
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!

Just finished drawing this within the last half hour and I'm totally digging it so I thought I'd share it here… reminds me of the good old days when afros were in and there was lots of hope and love in the air. Maybe those days will come back again before I die! ;)
Carla--I stopped by GRO in Point Reyes Station last Monday to view the BOX exhibit. It is spectacular! and so was your box! Such creativity on view--I can understand why it is such a hit with the art community.
Hi Carla, I was hoping to add you to my mail-out list, but looking at your page, it appears you haven't been active for a few months. Are you accepting mail art at this point?
Hi, Carla! Thank you for accepting my friend request! Living in NSW is great during the spring and summer. Lots of good beaches to sunbake in :). It gets so hot during the summer though so bushfires are a big risk. I will try to get some mail to you soon! :)
Hi Carla! A little A&P boekie came today that was dated some time in 2014, and had only a couple of adds in it. I can't find who started it, though--do you know?
