Hello, I am Julia from the lovely beach town of Santa Cruz, CA. I live under a giant oak tree which also houses grey, red and black squirrels, whose feet often patter across my roof. I live within easy reach of both ocean and forest, and enjoy my community of humans and wildlife.
I am a landscape painter, printmaker, and love hand lettering and typography, a classical musician (voice, violin, piano) and a web developer by trade.
I have been a triathlete and consider myself a cyclist who loves to swim. Some health issues dictate my taking a break from outdoor adventure for a bit, and so I am re-connecting with my love of pen, ink, paper, and other more sedentary arts.

Postcards: I really love mail art, and look forward to seeing your creativity! I will probably draw or paint on my postcard to you and encourage you to do the same. I'd love to hear something about where you are from, what you are doing or something of interest to you. If you want to talk to me about fountain (or other) pens, I am right there with you. Writing implement enthusiasts unite!
