Why I am involved in Mail-Art:
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.

    Convidamos voces para participarem do nosso Projeto de
    Arte Postal
    Mago ou Magi, plural da palavra Persa antiga magus,

    “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
