Hi! I am an artist living in Seattle. I live near Lake Union and run around the lake many mornings. I love to run and look at all the people biking/walking to work, the seaplanes that take off, the sailboats, all the active life around me!

My studio is in our condominium, and I see the Space Needle from the 1962 Worlds Fair out my window. I work in wire and make basketry/sculpture/jewelry and sell it across the country in galleries and online. I love being an artist, and have been one for 25+ years!

My husband and I are very much in love, having met later in life. We like to travel, go to musical concerts, and eat in the many restaurants in Seattle. I have two kids in college. We have a cat, Mister Nezbit, who keeps me company in my studio all day long!

When traveling, I always go to art galleries and museums. I especially love modern art. Alexander Calder is my favorite artist (he worked in wire and invented mobiles). Other favorite artists are Matisse, Klee, Chagall, Lichtenstein, Renoir, Claus Oldenburg, and Ellsworth Kelly. I also like to do jigsaw puzzles in my spare time!

I would love to get postcards of many things, such as:
-artwork that is from your city or country!
-food native to your country
-photograph of the city you live in
-something you find very special about your country

If you could include a few words of your native language with translations that would be terrific! Thank you!
