NOTICE : If you are expecting a card from me, please do not look at my Flickr photos if you would like to be surprised. I may have a pic of your card posted already.

I'm a visual artist living in central PA, USA. I'm particularly fond of working with graphite and ink, but I also enjoy using watercolor and gouache. My ATCs will be hand drawn or painted, so if you are in a sender's choice swap with me, please realize that I do not make the collage or scrapbooking type of cards. I've made a few attempts in the past but I have realized that it's not my calling, so I'm going to stick within my field :) This does not mean that I don't want to receive the collage types, it only means that I don't make them myself.

Things I currently enjoy swapping are ATCs, Skinnys, Postcards ( handmade or store bought ) Tea, Art Journal pages one at a time, and other sized art. I'm trying to learn different crochet stitches, but it's slow going right now :) It will be some time before I'm able to swap crocheted items.

• Flakers - for reasons that go without saying :/

• Non-Raters. Rating someone is important because it lets the sender know their items have been received, as well as it let's the general swapping public know that indeed, the swapper IS sending their items out, and not just marking things as sent. Taking a moment to rate is part of swapping here on swap-bot.

• Just a note...I'm what some might call an atheist, maybe agnostic, although I prefer not to have a label in that regard. However, I can appreciate the art of all religions and gladly welcome it, as it is of great interest to me. Just please do not send along any scriptures, doctrine, pamphlets, etc. Thanks :)
