About Carol...

I am an introspective, abstract artist. My world is made special by books, those I've read and those I am waiting to read. It is made special by my love of food, both cooking food with appreciation for where it is grown and eating food that puts a smile on my face. It is made special by music, which lightens my spirit and makes me move to its groove.

I am in love with life and my husband of 41 years. We have two wonderful daughters who are married with their own families. I have lived in the state of South Carolina for over nine years now, but it is a totally different experience than my home for my first 55 years in Massachusetts!

I love to receive unusual cards, but some suggestions for subjects are
shadows
books
chocolate
coffee
moons
old doors
cats
chairs, oh I really do love chairs!
I would especially love to receive cards of the work of Jean-Michel Folon and Irena Petelina's "Travelers in Dreamland" series, or in the series of inkognito.

I really appreciate it when you write a little about yourself or say why you chose that card to send. I also appreciate handmade cards, especially if they are really creative. I'm even interested in ad cards if they are graphically well done and you make sure to say why you are sending it.

I have read poetry since childhood, and one favorite begins
"somewhere I have never travelled, gladly beyond
any experience..." e.e. cummings
This is what postcrossing is like for me. A way to travel to places my mind hasn't taken me yet. Help me know about your life and your country. I care.

A favorite quote from a 13 year old postcrosser: "Be yourself. There are so many others."
