I enjoy connecting to people across the globe through the postal system and mail art. I collect postage stamps, bus and train tickets, and other ephemeral bits of everyday life. Making prints from my hand carved stamps is one of my favorite hobbies, so let me know if you'd like to trade hand printed ATCs or postcards.

I should spend more time outside, so I'm off to swim, or just float and watch the clouds.

Some favorite artists: Miriam Makeba, Keith Jarrett, Chopin, Dave Brubeck, Baguette Quartette, Rupa and the April Fishes, Beethoven, Tango No. 9, Vince Guaraldi, Andre Segovia, Allman Brothers, Camille, Sanjay Divecha, Lyle Lovett

Graph paper and old ledger paper; linen; the end pages of books where they explain the typeface; the smells of gasoline, saw dust, and fiberglass resin; the fragrance of gardenias, sweet peas, and honeysuckle. I'm told sweet olive and linden blossoms have wonderful scents but I'm still in search of these mysteries.
