I live in Columbus, Ohio. I love creating multi-media artworks, reading, gardening, cooking, birdwatching, pets, photography, and traveling. I am a former high school science teacher, zookeeper (raptors), graphic artist in an off-set printshop, and a stained glass artisian.

I like all colors but I love purple! I am also attracted to jewel colors -- teal, turquoise, ruby, emerald. I collect dragonflies mostly, but also frogs, hedgehogs, turtles, and puffins. I am a big fan of mermaids, fairies, Noah's Ark, and Art Nouveau designs. Charley Harper is my all-time favorite artist, but I am also quite fond of Sulamith Wulfing, John William Waterhouse, Alphonse Mucha, Susan Boulet, Gustav Klimt, Van Gogh, Robert Bateman, Glen Loates, Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies, and photography by Ansel Adams, Annie Leibovitz, and Anne Geddes.

I love photography! So postcards of birds and animals, nature and flowers will be favorites. I also like artistic, quirky, bizarre, vintage, and unusual. Postcards depicting the region or country in which you live would also be welcome.

I love postage stamps. They are miniature artworks! I am excited about seeing postage from other countries.

If you have time please date your postcard. I love seeing how other people write their numerals and how they write the date. Thank you!
